Australia tipped to dodge recession even as China slows, US teeters
By Swati Pandey
Australia’s economy is expected to avoid recession in the coming year even as its top trading partner, China, slows sharply on COVID-19 restrictions and rapid US policy tightening raises risks of a downturn there.
Soaring export prices and a weaker currency are bringing Australia a cash windfall at a time when other developed economies are flashing warning signs. A very tight labour market and still-elevated savings are also helping Australian households cope with rapidly increasing borrowing costs.
“We expect a soft landing, not a recession,” said Jo Masters, chief economist at Barrenjoey Markets. “Australia is both an energy and food exporter, and the Australian dollar is - and expected to remain - below fair value.”
Bloomberg surveys back her view: the chance of recession in the next year in Australia is 25 per cent, versus 60 per cent in the UK, 50 per cent in the US and 35 per cent in New Zealand.
Expectations that Australia will avoid two straight quarters of contraction are reflected in a bond market where the yield curve has steepened. That contrasts with US yield curves that have inverted, a sign recession may be coming.
The RBA is more cautious, with governor Philip Lowe saying on Friday that the growing overseas risks are weighing on Australia’s economy and will make it harder to achieve a “soft landing”.
The RBA is in the midst of its sharpest tightening cycle in a generation, having raised rates by 2.25 percentage points since May. But it’s now approaching a neutral rate, potentially allowing it to return to smaller, quarter percentage-point moves. That compares with a Federal Reserve that may deliver a third straight three-quarter-point increase this month.
Indeed, global policymakers have warned that inflation must be defeated even at the cost of economic growth. That also contrasts with RBA rhetoric highlighting the need to keep Australia’s economy on “an even keel”.
A key reason for the RBA’s less hawkish stance is a lower starting point for inflation compared with offshore counterparts. Consumer-price growth is also not expected to reach the alarming highs recorded in the US and elsewhere.
There is also little evidence of a wage-price spiral emerging, with pay rises remaining relatively moderate even as labour shortages worsen. Economists predict unemployment held at a 48-year low of 3.4 per cent in August ahead of jobs data out on Thursday.
Australia has also been a rare beneficiary of fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as disruptions to commodity and energy supplies have sent coal and other prices soaring. The nation posted a record-high monthly trade surplus this year, fuelled by sales of coal, iron ore and liquefied natural gas.
“We have a tailwind from our terms of trade that other countries just don’t have,” said Alex Joiner, IFM Investors’ chief economist. “The export of LNG and coal have been extraordinarily beneficial. Our budget position will be in a much better position than many advanced economies.”
Unusually, the surge in export prices isn’t being reflected in Australia’s commodity-linked currency, which has averaged 69 US cents over the past three months. Commonwealth Bank sees the exchange rate dropping to 62 US cents by early next year, a level not seen since early 2020.
A lower currency swells profits from commodity exports priced in dollars and makes the country more appealing to overseas visitors and students.
Australia’s employment-to-population ratio is near a record high as is its participation rate - both much stronger than in many other countries - highlighting the underlying momentum in the labour market. Job vacancies also remain elevated, suggesting that strength will persist.
“It’s hard to see a sharp deterioration in the Australian economy when the labour market is so strong,” said ANZ Banking Group’s Catherine Birch, who expects unemployment to fall to 3 per cent by early 2023.
Australians still have plenty of savings to tap to support consumption, having built up a large amount of cash from fiscal stimulus delivered during COVID lockdowns when there were few options to spend.
Still it’s not all positive. A key area of concern is a rapid reversal in the property market, where prices are falling at a scale unseen since the eve of the 1991 recession.
The market hardest hit is bellwether Sydney, where home values have dropped almost 6 per cent in the past three months, compared with 3.4 per cent in the $9.9 trillion national market.
Further falls are inevitable as the RBA, which meets in just under three weeks, is expected to raise rates again. Australians are also heavily indebted, meaning higher borrowing costs will eventually begin to squeeze household budgets.

In the clip below, the interviewer asked Dr. Fauci about the new Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shots. He says how great it will be targeting the current circulating variant. Then he says: “It hasn’t been proven in a clinical trial because we don’t have time to do a clinical trial.”
They tested eight mice, no humans. Oh, and the mice didn’t make it. Several died, and the others had to be euthanized because they were in agonizing pain.
Watch:
Fauci: The effects/adverse reactions of the boosters haven’t been proven in a clinical trial, because we don’t have TIME to do a clinical trial.
Safe and effective? 🤡
pic.twitter.com/1oQdlyEkNv— Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis (@DrLoupis) September 8, 2022
The BA.4/BA.5 boosters were approved using animal data only.
In the next clip, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky deliberately misinformed the public by suggesting the booster was based on a study of over 1,700 people receiving a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. Despite her insinuation, the current Omicron booster was not tested on over 1,700 people.
“Data from studies on over 1,700 people who received a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine demonstrated an increased immune response and broad protection against known variants,” she said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci admitted in the clip above that they didn’t do clinical trials. The study of 1700 people was of BA.1.
Rep. Massie picked it up. The CDC is pushing boosters that have not been tested and deceiving the public about it. So much for straightening out the CDC.
Watch:
She cites a human study for bivalent vaccines, but neglects to mention those studies weren’t for the booster she’s pushing in the video.
I thought @CDCDirector was going to restore trust in CDC by being more honest and transparent? That didn’t last long – she’s back on “hopium.” https://t.co/7MtBbQYrcy

Does she head the sales department for Pfizer now or still working for the CDC?

Bill Gates Gives Bad Advice
Then there is this next clip. Gates admits in the clip that he told Donald Trump not to believe the vaccines are dangerous. Midway through the clip, Dr. Peter McCullough talks about the dangers of the vaccine for some people.
Youth have suffered from myocarditis or pericarditis directly related to the vaccine.
Gates had too much power and is too closely aligned with Big Pharma. He’s not a doctor and shouldn’t be advising on the vaccines.
Watch:
Bill Gates ordered the President of the United States twice not to investigate the ill effects of his mRNA injections because he knew they killed and maimed people. He is responsible for millions of deaths, infertility and injuries around the world.pic.twitter.com/8poUdIEUfD

DENVER (AP) — As Charlie Gilmore collected his belongings Friday to leave the Denver hotel that had been a home to him and 137 other previously homeless people during the pandemic, he pondered where he would spend the night.
The 58-year-old is one of thousands of people without homes across the country who found relief in motel rooms during the pandemic, but are now facing uncertainty as the hotels close, special government funding during the pandemic dwindles and leases come to an end.
Cities from Anchorage to New Orleans have ended or are winding down their hotel programs, which offered a good alternative to packed homeless shelters amid the spread of COVID-19.
“Somewhere down the road here there’s a bunch of cedars,” said Gilmore, pointing to nearby trees while sitting atop a neon sleeping bag rated for freezing weather as Denver’s winter looms.
People are also reading…
The Quality Inn in Denver where Gilmore lived was leased from the private owner by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. It provided rooms for those over 65-years-old and people at greater risk for severe COVID-19 illness during the pandemic.
Opened in April 2020, FEMA funds directed through Denver to the Coalition helped keep the hotel running over the past 2 1/2 years. But the $9 million total spent on the lease and an additional $5 to $6 million in operational costs became unsustainable, said John Parvensky, president and CEO of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
“We are kind of in a Catch-22,” said Parvensky, who said case management is still being provided to Quality Inn residents. “It wasn’t designed to be a long-term fix.”
Some leaving the Quality Inn in Denver have found permanent housing, others are moving into shelters, some are back on the street, and a few are moving into temporary hotel rooms paid for by Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, which started a GoFundMe page to buy camping gear and fund hotel stays. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is also pitching in.
As of Sept. 12, only 57 of the inn’s 138 residents had some type of temporary or long-term housing lined up, according to a letter from the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. Updated numbers from the organization are not yet available.
Anjanette Gallegos, 54, who sat in front of the beige Quality Inn on Friday in Denver, was waiting for a Lyft ride to move into a new apartment she had secured, but said leaving the community was bittersweet.
Having couch surfed before the pandemic, having her own room was a godsend.
“A home’s not a home unless you can call it your own home,” Gallegos said.
Brett Sterba, another Quality Inn resident, said he didn’t yet know where he would pitch his tent Friday night, but plans to eventually return to a Denver street corner where he twirls a sign with smiley faces for some cash.
“It kind of bums me out,” he said of the hotel’s closure. “I thought it was going really well and it’s too bad they don’t have something more permanent like this.”
Terese Howard, an organizer for the Housekeys Action Network Denver, believes that the hotel’s operations should have been extended.
“If a year or two ago this effort had gone toward finding permanent housing, this could have been avoided,” said Howard.
The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless has purchased a Denver-area hotel and is in the process of acquiring a second for permanent housing as part of a wider trend across the country — spurred by the success of pandemic-era programs — to convert typically tourist lodgings into long-term options.
Donald Whitehead, executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, said that while it is sad to see the temporary housing in hotels close, it provided an important blueprint for homeless advocates around the country.
“It really taught us a lesson in how we could really address this problem in a way that is comprehensive and fundamental," he said.
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom's “Project Homekey” program grew out of what the state called Project Roomkey — an initiative that housed homeless people in hotels up and down the state. “Project Homekey,” which started in June 2020, is turning vacant motels, hotels and other unused properties into permanent supportive housing. The state buys the properties, coverts them and gives them to local governments that then contract with local providers for needed services.
Newsom last month announced nearly $700 million from the program for 35 new projects. That brings the total to more than 200 projects projected to create more than 12,500 permanent and interim homes.
Newsom said last month that the program “is changing lives across the state” and called it “a model for the nation.”
Whitehead and Ann Oliva, CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, said the main barrier to expanding hotel accommodations for the homeless is funding.
“I would lay the blame at the feet of the federal government,” said Whitehead. "We are back to business as usual, not providing enough resources for the problems.”
Oliva highlighted that the private rooms offered unhoused people security, privacy, and stability, and increased their likelihood of finding permanent housing.
"It's got to be devastating for somebody to have gotten some measure and ability to have stability and some comfort in their lives to be exited from a program like that,” she said. “It’s what we didn’t want to happen.”

Air strike "targeting Damascus airport and some points south of Damascus" leaves five soldiers dead and damages some material, regime media say.
An Israeli air strike near Damascus airport has killed five Syrian regime soldiers and caused material damage, regime media reported.
"The aggression led to the death of five soldiers and some material damage," SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying on Saturday.
The strike carried out at approximately 00:45 am (local time) came "from the northeastern direction of Lake Tiberias, targeting Damascus airport and some points south of Damascus," it added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the Israeli shelling targeted sites where Iran-backed groups are stationed near Damascus airport and in the Damascus countryside.
Israel did not immediately comment on the report.
Past strikes
An Israeli strike in the countryside around the capital Damascus and south of coastal Tartus province killed three regime soldiers last month.
In the past month, Israeli air strikes have twice targeted Aleppo airport.
Since the civil war erupted in Syria in 2011, Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes against its northern neighbour, targeting regime troops as well as allied Iran-backed forces and Hezbollah fighters.

- Total clearance of 94 bulls to $25,000, av $12885
Despite a challenging year at its Yea property, Lawsons Angus has achieved a total clearance in its Victoria and NSW combined yearling spring sale.
Stud principal Harry Lawson described it as "a really amazing result" as the top price bull went just north of Yea to a producer with a property on the Goulburn River, Molesworth.
"It has been a challenge with the yearling bulls, it was like the old days, wet and muddy," Mr Lawson said.
"It's hard presenting yearling bulls, out of Yea, this time of year.
"But we are very proud of where the bulls are genetically and were they sit in the Angus breed."
Mr Lawson said the stud had "gone up a few more gears" in terms of what the bulls represented, with the sale of the first progeny of GAR Hometown .
"GAR Hometown really is a world-class bull, we tried to buy a share in him when he was young - my son Ed and I got up at two o'clock in the morning, thinking we were going to buy a share in him," he said.
"I think the syndicate had $130,000 and he made US $470,000."
The stud ended up buying semen, instead.

The top priced bull, lot two, Lawsons Home Town S5018 was born in July 2021 and bought by Don McRae, Whanregarwen, Molesworth.
Home Town was sired by GAR Home Town, out of Lawsons Momentous Q5003.
Home Town had a birthweight of 4.1kilograms, a 200-day weight of 61kg, a 400-day weight of 110kg and a 600-day weight of 133kg.
His estimated breeding values rib measurement was -1.5, he had a rump of -2.2, an eye muscle area of 12.6 square centimetres, retail beef yield of 1.9 per cent and intramuscular fat of 3.9pc.
The bull ranked equal eighth on the Heavy Grain Index of the 94 bulls in the sale and in the top 1pc of the breed for grain and EMA.
He was in the top 1pc for IMF.
Mr Lawson said the sale indicated buyers were backing Lawson's genetics, with the NSW bulls being heavier and presented better.
"Most people who have been with us a long time understand our breeding goals are pretty uncompromising, in terms of that calving ease, growth, carcase and moderate cow size - they are the big economic drivers."
Mr Lawson said the stud had "gone up a few more gears" in terms of what the bulls represented, with the first progeny of GAR Hometown.
Lawsons offered 17 progeny from Hometown, including the first seven in the sale.
"GAR Hometown really is a world-class bull - we tried to buy a share in him when he was young," Mr Lawson said.
"My son Ed and I got up at two o'clock in the morning, thinking we were going to buy a share in him.
"I think the syndicate had $130,000 and he made US$470,000.
The stud ended up buying semen instead.
"Those Hometown bulls are just phenomenal, they are so well balanced and I think Whanregarwen would have the strongest carcase genetics in any commercial herd in Australia," Mr Lawson said.
The Hometown bulls were well balanced, had calving ease and rapid early growth, with a huge carcase.
Mr Lawson said a number of the bulls Lawsons used had an impact internationally, not just in Australia.
"We try to offer our clients lots of choice, we have multiple sales across the country and the common thread is they are all by the best, in our view, six or eight balanced bulls in the world," he said.
Dairy Livestock Services auctioneer Scott Lord said repeat and volume buyers were the highlight of the sale.
"The bulls were only 12-13 months old, so it was a really strong result," Mr Lord said.
"I have been selling here for a long time but the return buyers blow me away."
Online buyers came from every state.
Buyers from TRT Pastoral, Tasmania and Mansfield took home 10 bulls, with Paraway, Victoria, NSW and Queensland another volume buyer.
There were 31 online buyers, who lodged 220 bids through AuctionsPlus.
The sale was conducted at the Yea and Boorowa, NSW properties as a physical sale conducted by DLS and interfaced online.

When the original Series 1 Land Rover made its world debut at an auto show in Amsterdam in 1948, few would have thought the vehicle would go on to spawn an internationally recognized brand for luxury SUVs decades later.
It’s now been 75 years since the debut and Land Rover has remembered its humble beginnings with a special Defender, the vehicle in Land Rover’s current lineup closest in spirit to the Series 1.
It’s called the 2023 Defender 75th Limited Edition, and it’s being offered for a limited period. It is available in 2-door 90 or 4-door 110 body styles and comes with an exclusive shade of green paint called Grasmere Green. The paint also extends to the standard 20-inch wheels, including the center caps.
There are also some Grasmere Green accents in the cabin, which are combined with seats in black trim. There’s also a material called Robustec, which Land Rover describes as its most robust fabric available in the Defender. It features on the center console.
The Defender 75th Limited Edition is offered exclusively in the Defender’s P400 grade, meaning a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 in mild-hybrid configuration. It’s good for 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive complete the package.
All Defender 75th Limited Editions also come equipped with a folding fabric roof, 14-way driver and front passenger seats with heating and memory function, a heated steering wheel, 3-zone climate control, a surround-view camera system, Meridian premium audio, a head-up display, a wireless charger for mobile devices, and an 11.4-inch infotainment screen.

University of Michigan finalizes $490 million sexual abuse settlement
By Kanishka Singh
Sept 16 (Reuters) - The University of Michigan said a $490 million settlement with more than 1,000 people who alleged sexual assault by a former sports doctor was finalized on Friday.
The doctor, Robert Anderson, was a physician for the football team and other athletic programs at the university, where he worked from 1966 until his retirement in 2003. He died in 2008. Most of the victims were male.
The university said the deal gained approval from 98% of claimants. How the amount will be split was decided by the claimants and their lawyers, it added.
"The University of Michigan offers its heartfelt apology for the abuse perpetrated by the late Robert Anderson. We hope this settlement helps the healing process for survivors," Paul Brown, chairman of the university's governing board, said in a statement.
In January, the university said the deal, which was the culmination of years of negotiations with attorneys for the victims, would settle all claims of abuse by Anderson.
It said at the time that $460 million will be paid to 1,050 claimants and $30 million placed in reserve for any unidentified victims who come forward by July 31, 2023.

Shocking new footage has emerged of the moment a man was arrested after allegedly trying to rush at Queen Elizabeth’s coffin as the late monarch lies in state.
Mourners “looked on in horror” as a man darted out of line and allegedly ran up the stairs of the catafalque before touching the coffin.
According to the Daily Mail, the individual was “quickly taken to the floor by police officers”

Metropolitan Police reportedly detained the man around 10pm on Friday evening (7am AEST) “following a disturbance” in Westminster Hall.
Scotland Yard confirmed the man was “arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act and is currently in custody”.
It came just hours after King Charles led his three other siblings in a quiet vigil in front of the late monarch’s coffin.
The Guardian also reported that a man has faced Westminster magistrates court after two women alleged that they were sexually assaulted while they were waiting in the queue to see the Queen lying in state.

China's government says it intends to impose sanctions on the chief executives of Raytheon and Boeing Defense, citing their involvement in Washington lawmakers' latest approval of arms sales to Taiwan, Reuters reported.
According to the publication Breaking Defense, Beijing said the weapons transfers included a possible $1.1 billion agreement that "gravely" undermines "China's sovereignty and security interests."
A Chinese government spokesperson said the country's government would be levying sanctions on Raytheon Technologies CEO Gregory Hayes along with Boeing Defense, Space and Security CEO Ted Colbert, accusing both of being "involved" in the agreements with self-governing Taiwan.
The spokesperson said the deals "severely harm China-US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.” They said, “China firmly opposes and strongly condemns the sales.”
This month the Biden administration approved several potential arms sales through the Defense Security Cooperation Agency that included over $665 million in advanced radar-related technology made mainly by Raytheon, as well as over $350 million in Harpoon missiles and other equipment that Boeing made, Breaking Defense reported.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said, “We once again urge the U.S. government and relevant parties to ... stop arms sales to Taiwan and military contact with Taiwan, and stop creating new factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait,” the Associated Press reported.
According to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Taiwan has governed itself independently of China since 1949. Beijing, though, sees the island as part of Chinese territory. The ruling Chinese government has said it vows to eventually "unify" Taiwan with mainland China, even if that means using force.

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (WKRG) – Thomas “Mykel” Gordon started his shift at Chick-fil-A like any normal Wednesday – the 26-year-old from Florida had no idea his decisive action later that day was about to go viral.
“I was getting some orders done, taken out on the POS and I just heard a call for help and all I could do is respond as fast as possible,” said Gordon.
The suspect, William Branch, is charged with threatening a military wife and young child with a sharpened plank to steal their car in the parking lot.
Gordon instantly ran to the commotion and pulled William Branch out of the car.
“As soon as I arrived, I saw him trying to get into the vehicle. I just pulled him out and I put him in a headlock,” said Gordon.
Gordon kept Branch on the ground until deputies arrived on the scene. Witnesses recorded the incident and the video quickly went viral across the nation.
Gordon said the tackle was the second run-in he had with Branch. A moment earlier, Gordon said he ran him off from trying to steal a woman’s keys in the drive-thru line.
Branch did get a swing on Gordon, hitting him on his chin. The day-shift manager was back at work the next day serving sandwiches with a smile.
Gordon honored for his actions
Sheriff Eric Aden stopped by Gordon’s Thursday shift to present a challenge coin and community service award.
“What we say a lot of times is service is in our DNA. That’s our mantra, that’s our motto,” said Sheriff Aden. “You clearly have service in your DNA from the job that you do here but you served and protected yesterday and that is what we do on a daily basis.”
While much of his Thursday shift was filled with media coverage, the community stopped by the drive-thru to tell Mykel thank you, giving cards and gifts to the young man.
“I joined this team 14 years ago, I never really saw this coming and never really expected that to ever happen,” said Gordon. “A very rare occasion.”
Suspect on a crime spree
It wasn’t the suspect’s only crime that day, according to Orange County Sheriff’s Office officials.
“The same suspect had burglarized a local home earlier the same day in the city of Fort Walton Beach, attempting to steal a purse before being confronted by the homeowner,” said Chief Deputy Ken LaPee.
Branch faces robbery with a firearm, robbery with carjacking and burglary charges.
Gordon has worked for Chick-fil-A for 14 years, and this is not his first time saving a life in the parking lot. Previously, he pulled two people from a car after a nearby crane collapsed on top.
“A vehicle that just came around this corner over here off of Beal Parkway. He hit the curve a little hard. It came down on top of a white sedan,” said Gordon. “The white sedan only had a few moments of just being able to stay on all four of the tires without them being compressed and compressed by the vehicle. So I was able to get her out and the other one out safely.”
OCSO offered Gordon a sponsored spot at cadet school if he wants to take his talents into law enforcement. Gordon however, sees his future working up the Chick-fil-A management ladder with the tagline “My Pleasure.”

A veteran made an MBE in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours said getting a call inviting him to the monarch’s funeral sparked a “special feeling”.
Robert Lodge, of Weeley Heath in Essex, said a “lady from the Cabinet Office rang me and explained that they wanted some recent recipients of the MBE to attend”.
“In an instant the answer was yes, of course,” the 71-year-old said.
“That’s a special feeling to get that invite.”
Mr Lodge, who joined the Army as an 18-year-old gunner and rose to the rank of captain in 27 years of service, was honoured for his work with the Red Cypher charity.
The charity supports past and present members of 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery and is so named because “our cap badge is a royal cypher with a red backing”, Mr Lodge said.
Mr Lodge met the Queen in Germany in 1984 when she visited a gunner parade in Dortmund.
“She was friendly, straight-talking as everyone knows her to be and a wonderful person,” he said.
“When I joined the Army in 1969 as an 18-year-old, you swear allegiance to the Queen or the Crown and her successors, and when you do that you start to understand what it is you’re getting involved in.
“The Queen was our captain general and King Charles will be our captain general on and on.”
Mr Lodge said he was “very sad” when he learned about the Queen’s death.
“When I was invited to the funeral, it’s a duty and I feel privileged, and, ‘Why me?’, but absolutely blown away with the fact I’ve been invited,” he said.
Mr Lodge said he has been asked to attend Westminster Abbey on Monday morning.
“It’s an honour and a privilege,” he said.
“I just feel very humbled.
“This year, MBE, Queen dying, being invited to her funeral… it’s all a bit surreal, really.
“But looking at the pictures on the television and all the people I speak to, there’s an outpouring of grief.
“It’s just amazing.
“Only this country would produce the standard of organisation and pageantry that we’re seeing on the television.
“Absolutely amazing, outstanding, all the people involved with it.
“Never forget it.”

A church-based homeless shelter that has operated in Middletown since 2002 without any government assistance is stepping aside to allow the city of Middletown to coordinate housing the homeless this winter.
Serving the Homeless with Alternate Lodging Of Middletown (SHALOM), which provided shelter and meals for about 35 clients a night at hosting churches, will not operate this winter, said Bill Fugate, a longtime volunteer.
In a letter to supporters that was sent out Thursday, Fugate wrote that last week SHALOM was told the city of Middletown, under the direction of City Manager Paul Lolli, was making plans to begin sheltering the homeless this winter.
Lolli, in an email to The Journal-News, said on “numerous occasions” over the past several months the city attempted to make contact SHALOM leaders to determine if they were organizing a warming center this winter.
When Lolli didn’t receive an answer, he directed Police Chief David Birk and Jeri Lewis, the city’s intern special projects coordinator, to work with community churches and other organizations to formulate a plan for a warming center.
Lolli said six local churches have committed to serve as warming centers and 10 other churches have offered support by providing meals and volunteers. He called the response “very positive.”
Councilman Rodney Muterspaw, who dealt with the city’s homeless population as police chief, called the situation “unfortunate” because the city reached out to the churches for assistance because that’s where it starts, with the community, not the government.
“We simply could not wait on an answer because cold weather will be here before we know it,” he said.
Fugate said city leaders have always been thankful for the services provided by SHALOM since the group was founded by Roy and Pat Ickes in 2002.
“The city has nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for SHALOM and appreciate all they have done for the homeless and the Middletown community,” Lolli said.
Fugate said he was always told the city “did not desire to be in the homeless business,” but now that the city has received millions of dollars in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, some of which have to be directly used regarding the homeless, the city has determined it “should be in the homeless business,” Fugate wrote.
Lolli said he didn’t want to respond to Fugate’s accusations.
After being closed the last two years due to health concerns related to COVID-19, SHALOM had planned to reopen this year, Fugate said. The organization had recently received the approval to invite the homeless into First United Methodist, 120 S. Broad St., where its intake office is located.
“Things were looking very positive for serving our guests this winter,” Fugate wrote. “We have attempted to be a very bright light in a world that seems to be getting darker and darker.”
Fugate said SHALOM does not believe the city’s involvement in a homeless service that has been freely provided by SHALOM and the churches for the past 19 years is in the “best interest” of the homeless, the city of Middletown or its taxpayers.
He said Lolli has been told that SHALOM will “graciously step aside and not compete or stand in the way” of the city’s efforts to begin a homeless service.
“There is certainly not a need for both of us to operate in similar manners and we believe that by doing so it would only create more conflict,” Fugate wrote. “Once again, it was difficult not to fight against the city in this matter considering how they have handled this matter. SHALOM has been blessed to have a great reputation for doing things the right way and fighting the city would not be the right thing. We are certainly disappointed, and even heartbroken, but will continue to pray for our communities homeless and less fortunate.”
SHALOM volunteers will continue serving the unhoused breakfast from 8:30-9:30 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at First United Methodist Church, according to Fugate.
Last winter, the city of Middletown, through a grant, funded a warming center that was run by Erica Norton, executive director of the Healing Center. The city paid $95,000 for the group to operate the center for 90 days, but the center closed after 60 days over a contract dispute with the city.
Then last month, a representative from Coalition for a Healthy Middletown made a presentation to City Council asking the city to purchase three Dignity Buses for $360,000 that would provide the unhoused a nightly warm place to sleep during the winter.
Each Dignity Bus holds up to 20 people, offers toilets, space for luggage, pets, said DeAnna Shores, program coordinator for the coalition. The coalition hopes to obtain three buses, one for men, one for women and one in case of overflow, Shores said.
City Council has not voted on any legislation related to the buses.
“Dignity buses are not the answer,” said Zack Ferrell, a first-year council member. “We can’t afford to attract and take care of other cities unhoused. We can help our own, but we don’t want to be the regional draw.”
Birk estimates there about 200 unhoused people living in Middletown and about 50% are from outside the city. He said many of the homeless come to Middletown from surrounding Butler County communities.

LONDON (AP) — A foreign correspondent, a consultant, a businessman, a retired accountant and his wife stand in a line for nearly eight hours.
That is how this story begins, once I claim my spot among a growing queue of mourners coming from all corners of the United Kingdom and the world to pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II in England’s capital.
It ends when the five of us exit the majestic hall — each in awe, in our own individual way, of the forces of change that swirl around us.
One step into the line, a volunteer named Kofi jots down my number; a wristband later confirms I am No. 3,017 in the queue.
I look back, and the chain of people has already grown by a dozen. It will stretch for miles along the south bank of the River Thames toward Westminster Hall, where the late queen is lying in state ahead of her funeral on Monday.
We were told to expect this. Long waiting times, potentially for 30 hours, in lines that could stretch more than five miles.
A single-zip backpack was all we were allowed to bring; food and drink would be tossed before entering the hall. I packed as I would for a hostile assignment: Layers and waterproofs to account for the notoriously moody weather. Protein bars and a fully charged power bank. An obscene number of pens. And good shoes.
___
The first challenge is finding the end of the ever-moving queue. I start from the beginning, near the Albert Embankment, and work my way through the sea of humans from all walks of life who are lined up in single file.
My fellow queuers and I assess each other silently. There is Ramakant and his wife Usha, a retired pair with a passion for mountains. Daniel, a jolly businessman from Essex, specializes in office refurbishment. There is a consultant whose identity I’ve sworn to secrecy because she was skipping work to stand in line.
In the course of our normal lives, we are unlikely to ever cross paths. But the forces of history have somehow bound us together, at least for these next few hours. Quietly, not explicitly, a sense of community has mysteriously formed between us.
We have different reasons for coming. Ramakant and Usha adored the queen. Daniel admired her dedication. For the unnamed consultant, saying goodbye to the queen was something she had to do “for myself.”
Me? I was curious. Death has been on my mind lately.
A week prior, I had been in southern Iraq to witness thousands of pilgrims make their way to the holy city of Karbala to mark the Shiite religious observance of Arbaeen — a 40-day mourning period to commemorate the death of Imam Hussein, Prophet Mohammed’s grandson.
I watched an endless procession of pious Iraqis recreate scenes from seventh-century Islam under the scorching 105-degree (40 degrees Celsius) sun. Men rode camels in Hejazi regalia and black-clad youth waved religious flags. Food stalls that dotted the many miles to the shrine gave out rice and beans.
Now I am witness to a dramatically different queue of mourners, there to mark the passing of a monarch whose 70-year reign encompassed the end of an empire. Unlike in the parched terrain of Iraq, people here are fearful it may rain.
___
The queue, observed: Readers engrossed in thick novels. Groups of friends chatting and sharing large bottles of champagne. A woman practicing tai chi.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Ramakant says.
Usha marvels at how Elizabeth worked up until hours before she died, handling the transition of power from Boris Johnson to Liz Truss two days before her demise.
“Imagine all the things she has done behind the scenes, in the background, none of us know anything about,” she says.
They can’t believe Elizabeth is dead, despite the fact they knew she could not live forever. “Did you notice her fingertips?” Daniel says of Elizabeth’s last appearance two days before her death. “They were see-through almost, weren’t they?”
We are silent, listening to the gentle soundtrack of the Thames.
It’s a good thing, he adds, that she died soon after Prince Philip, her husband of 74 years. It had been the same with his parents; they died within two weeks of each other. “It’s the best death, really.”
The consultant ducks to avoid a TV crew. Later she scrolls social media, hoping not to find herself on international news broadcasts. A colleague calls, and she tells them she is just “getting lunch.”
I ask: Why not just tell them you are here?
“It’s just one of those things I want to do for myself, and not have to explain.” ___
Suddenly, the line is moving. The queen’s coffin has arrived in the Hall.
Everything that follows is the epitome of order. The line snakes quickly around the bank, down to the embankment, where we watch boats cruise by. Before us, in the late-afternoon sun, the gothic complex of Westminster glimmers.
Ramakant was an accountant and has spent his retirement years traveling the world with his wife. From Niagara Falls to Mt. Kilimanjaro, they have been everywhere. “The key,” says Usha, “is not to wait until tomorrow.”
“You might be dead,” Ramakant says. To our left is the National COVID Memorial Wall, with one heart for each life lived and lost.
The consultant has to use the bathroom, but the line is now moving rapidly. So we share our location with her and, moments later, wave when we are many yards ahead and are reunited.
At the final stretch, we eye the security check just before the hall entrance. We are surprised by how fast the line has moved. A woman behind me complains to the volunteers who come to take away drinks: “I’ve got 30 hours’ worth of alcohol in here!”
Ramakant is stopped from taking off his shoes before the X-ray. “This isn’t like Gatwick!” jokes one policeman, invoking the name of one of London’s airports.
Inside the hall, all falls silent and still. We look up at the lofty wood-beam ceilings. We look down, and there it is — the queen’s coffin on a raised platform, surrounded by honor guards. On top, the imperial state crown glitters with its 3,000 diamonds.
The line divides in two, and each of us is given three seconds to pay last respects. A man in a tartan kilt and with a walking stick salutes. An elderly woman rises from her wheelchair and makes the sign of the cross. Daniel gets on one knee. Ramakant and Usha bow their heads. Then it is my turn. Outside, the sun is setting.
“We probably would never have met if it weren’t for this,” Daniel says afterward. Everyone exchanges numbers. “Even in death, she’s still doing her work.”
Total time elapsed: Just over 7½ hours.
Ramakant turns to me. “So,” he says. “What will you write about us?”

St. Charles Public Library employees who formed a union last year said they are receiving pushback from Library Board trustees about wanting to include in their contract protections regarding anti-discrimination, anti-bullying and workplace safety in their first contract with the board.
“Thus far, the board has not agreed to include this in the contract,” adult services librarian Sutton Skowron said.
She is one of the members on the union bargaining team. The union has been negotiating with the board since April.
Skowron said the union wants to make sure such protections are in its contract, especially given the fact that a future board could change policy.
“If it’s in our contract, it’s set,” Skowron said. “It’s a way to ensure that we’re not going to be discriminated against. Even if the laws change, we’re not going to be discriminated against. We do have members of the LGBTQ community as employees.”
In a statement, board trustees said they are currently in contract negotiations for the initial collective bargaining agreement with the union.
“We look forward to our continued negotiations with the union and do not have further comment,” the statement said.
In July 2021, the majority of employees at the St. Charles Public Library filed to form a union through AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Council 31. The union was certified in November 2021.
The library’s administration and managers are not part of the union. Skowron and other union members spoke to board trustees Wednesday about the impasse.
“Adding our proposed policies into our contract is a way to safeguard your ideas and hard work, and to make the library a safer workplace, free from discrimination,” young adult librarian Brandon Buckley said in addressing Library Board trustees at their board meeting. “We’re not asking for anything that isn’t in any standard union contract. We want to work with you to create a safe environment for staff and our patrons.”
Skowron said the union has reached agreement with Library Board trustees on other issues.
“We’ve agreed we’re going to have a labor management committee that meets monthly,” she said. “It’s basically to discuss any issues that might arise so that we can head them off early. Nobody wants to go to arbitration. We absolutely want to work with each other for this to run smoothly. So we’ve agreed on the terms for that committee.”
They also have agreed on what steps should be taken if a dispute arise between management and the union or an employee.
“Another thing that we agreed on is a new employee probationary period of 90 days,” Skowron said. “Currently, it’s six months.”
Given that it is the union’s first contract, she is not surprised that it is taking so long to complete the negotiations with the Library Board trustees.
“We knew this wasn’t going to be done in six months,” Skowron said. ”We knew this was going to be a process that could take a year or perhaps even longer.”
The Library Board is also searching for a new library director. In April, former St. Charles Public Library Director Edith Craig submitted her resignation letter announcing that she’s stepping down after more than five years in her position. Her last day was at the end of April. Craig was hired in September 2016 at an annual starting salary of $108,000.
Craig’s hiring sparked controversy among some staff members because she did not have previous experience as a library director. In an email to the library’s staff after Craig was hired, then-board president Tory Haines acknowledged that one of the staff members’ major concerns was her lack of experience as a director.
“The board placed experience very low on our list of priorities,” Haines’ email in response to staff concerns at the time had stated. “Our previous director had a stellar resume and a wealth of experience, but was not a good fit for our library.”

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Museums in New York that exhibit artworks looted by Nazis during the Holocaust are now required by law to let the public know about those dark chapters in their provenance through placards displayed with the stolen objects.
At least 600,000 pieces of art were looted from Jewish people before and during World War II, according to experts. Some of that plunder wound up in the world’s great museums.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law in August requiring museums to put up signs identifying pieces looted by the Nazis from 1933 through 1945.
The new rule comes as many museums in the U.S. and Europe are also reckoning with collections that contain numerous objects looted from Asia, Africa and other places during centuries of colonialism.
It isn’t clear how many pieces of art now on display will wind up being labeled as Nazi loot, and disagreements have already arisen over certain artworks with a complicated history.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, said it had identified 53 works in its collection as having been seized or sold under duress during the Nazi era.
All of those objects were obtained by the museum after being returned to their rightful owners. But Andrea Bayer, the museum’s deputy director for collections and administration, said the public still should know about their history.
“People should be aware of the terrible cost to people during World War II as these confiscations took place, and how these peoples’ treasures that they loved and had been in their families, had been torn from them at the same time their lives were disrupted,” she said.
The museum, however, does not intend to put up such a sign on a Picasso painting called “The Actor,” which it received as a gift in 1952.
That painting was once owned by Jewish businessman Paul Leffmann, who fled Germany — first for Italy, then ultimately to Brazil — to escape the Nazis. As Leffmann liquidated assets in 1938, he sold the painting to Paris art dealers for $13,200.
Leffmann’s great-grandniece, Laurel Zuckerman, sued the Metropolitan Museum in 2016, claiming it was a bargain-basement sale price that reflected the family’s desperation to flee Europe. The museum countered that the price was actually high for an early Picasso at the time. A U.S. court eventually dismissed the lawsuit.
Lawrence Kaye, one of the lawyers who represented Zuckerman, said that despite that outcome, the museum should still put up a placard with the painting’s disputed history.
“I believe the law would cover this piece. It was dismissed on technical grounds and I believe under the broad definition of what this law means under the statute, it should be covered,” Kaye said.
Researching the provenance of an object has gotten easier in the digital age and some museums have launched efforts to identify artworks with a problematic ownership history.
New York law had already required museums to report works believed to have been stolen during the Nazi period to the Art Loss Register, the world’s largest database on stolen art.
A U.S. law passed in 2016 provides victims of Holocaust-era persecution and their heirs a fair opportunity to recover works of art taken by the Nazis.
“This law did things legally that made it possible for people to make claims and sue,” said Wesley Fisher, the director of research for the Claims Conference, a group that represents the world’s Jews in negotiating for compensation for victims of Nazi persecution and their heirs.
“It isn’t perfect, but it’s better,” he said.
In 2018, New York City’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum returned an Ernst Ludwig Kirchner painting titled “Artillerymen” to the family of Jewish art dealer Alfred Flechtheim, who was forced to abandon his collection after fleeing Berlin in 1933.
A Guggenheim spokesperson said the museum is not aware of any other work in its collections that was looted by Nazis, but is continuing its research.
In 2019, the Arkell Museum in upstate New York returned a painting after it was made known that it was stolen by Nazis from a Jewish family in 1933. The museum’s director, Suzan Friedlander, said they “fully support the recent legislation regarding work seized by the Nazis.”
Last year, the Jewish Museum, in New York City, dedicated an entire exhibition to the topic of looted art and ceremonial objects.
While signage for Nazi-looted artwork is a policy unique to New York, other U.S. museums have undertaken efforts to trace the origin of potentially stolen artworks.
Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts launched a Nazi-era provenance research of their artwork in 1998, where they identify objects in the collection that were lost or stolen during the Nazi era and never returned to their rightful owners.
The Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles researched German art trade between 1900 and 1945 and now provides digital access to auction sales catalogs related to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Among the 53 pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that will get signage identifying them as having once been looted is a Turkish helmet dating to the late 15th and 16th century that had been seized by Nazis from its owner Baron Alphonse Mayer Rothschild in 1938. It was returned to Rothschild’s widow in 1949 and sold to the museum in 1950.
Another is a 1695 painting titled “Gamepiece with a Dead Heron” by Dutch painter Jan Weenix. It was also seized by the Nazis from Rothschild in 1939, later returned to his widow in 1948 and sold to the museum in 1950.
In the last two decades, the museum has returned or reached settlements on 10 artworks that changed hands during the Nazi period, including a Claude Monet painting.
New York Sen. Anna M. Kaplan, who sponsored the legislation, said the new law is partly about educating younger people unfamiliar with the Holocaust.
“Because the survivors of the Holocaust are a generation that is dying out, this becomes much more important,” said Fisher, of the Claims Conference. “The object become much more important. The idea that students and general public should go through museums to understand where these items come from, is important.”

Bournemouth caretaker manager Gary O’Neil maintains his focus is only on the next game amid speculation around a possible takeover.
The PA news agency understands a Las Vegas-led consortium is pushing to buy the club, who returned to the Premier League again this season after two years out of the top flight.
Cherries owner Maxim Demin, the sole shareholder at Bournemouth since 2019, is thought to be weighing up whether to sell, with US investors ready to pay £150million to take control at the Vitality Stadium.
O’Neil was handed first team duties when Scott Parker was sacked after just four Premier League matches, culminating in a 9-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Having steadied the ship with a goalless draw against Wolves, O’Neil presided over a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest, where they had trailed 2-0 at half-time.
Bournemouth travel to Newcastle on Saturday for a reunion with former boss Eddie Howe – which O’Neil insists is all he has been thinking about.
“Obviously I am not involved in any discussions like that (takeover). I have been hard at work over on the other side, on the grass,” O’Neil said.
“I haven’t considered anything around takeovers, discussions upstairs, my position, whatever that is, it is.
“My wife and kids will tell you, every minute of my day so far since that (postponed Brighton game) is Newcastle, either on a laptop or on the grass with the lads.
“Pure focus on how we go there, have an impact on the game and come away with a positive result again.”
O’Neil told a press conference: “Newcastle are a very good side.
“Every game I have watched, they have been on the front foot, aggressive and caused teams problems, so probably should have more points than they have. I would expect them to be high up the league this year.”
O’Neil feels his players can produced the required performance level after looking to move forwards following their Anfield nightmare.
“I’ve spoken about the qualities of the squad a lot and you have no choice but to bounce back,” he said. “Once again, I have full belief in what they are going to show me on Saturday.
“For any team to have any success, they have a real togetherness and want to achieve something.
“Last year’s promotion was tough at times and the group came through all the scrapes. People might have been asking questions and then the squad go to Huddersfield and beat Forest, show up for big games in high-pressure situations. It is how they are, they are an incredible group.”
Midfielder David Brooks has suffered a setback when playing for the under-21s as he continues his recovery from cancer.
“He had some pain in his hamstring, which is initially disappointing for him. Having said that, it’s not unusual for any player who has been off grass long-term,” O’Neil said.
“When players come back, there’s always a spell where they need to get their body used to being on the grass. They have to adapt to the stresses of playing football every day.
“I am not surprised that it’s happened, but I am disappointed for him. We were never going to rush him back, so we’ll see how he is in the coming weeks.”

Last night on the Tonight Show, magician David Blaine promoted his Las Vegas residency with a freaky card trick involving slamming Jimmy Fallon's palm onto a pin. For dessert, Blaine ate a bowl of nails.
"As children, we believe that anything is possible—the trick is never to forget it," Blaine once said.

ESB Group reports an operating profit of €357m in first half of the year
ESB Group has reported operating profit before exceptional items of €357m for the six months ended 30 June.
This marked a decline of €6m from the first half of 2021.
The semi-State attributed the decline to regulated network tariff changes, losses incurred in its customer solutions business and foreign exchange movements.
Geraldine Heavey, ESB’s chief financial officer, said: “Volatility and high wholesale market prices continue to be a feature of energy markets in 2022.”
ESB added that this reduction in profits was offset at a group level to a large extent by higher energy margins in its generation business.
It said that its generation and supply businesses are required to operate separately so increased profits from its generation business cannot be used to offset costs incurred by Electric Ireland.
The company, which has around 8,000 employees, invested €532m in energy infrastructure in the first half of 2022.
“This provides the basis for continued strong investment in energy infrastructure to decarbonise electricity, improve resilience and empower customers in line with our 2040 Net Zero Strategy,” Ms Heavey added.

You must already have been greatly astonished by the title. The incident will certainly make you giggle, so there’s that. According to the reports, Lisa Sparks was actually competing that day against two other women. By the time the game was through, she had really defeated her closest competitor by a margin of 21 men. Would you be interested in learning more about Lisa Spark’s fascinating experience in depth?
Keep reading until the end because we’ll reveal some fascinating facts about the star. Let’s look at it!
Table of Contents
Who is Lisa Sparks?
Given that you are reading this, you must be interested in learning more about the life of the well-known adult star Lisa Spark. You’ve come to the right place because we’ll give you all the important information about her life and profession. As you are aware, some incredibly amazing people hold world records. The world record for the most men to sleep in a 24-hour period is one of the most frightening of them. Lisa Sparks, a woman, is the one holding it. Sounds really strange, huh? Let’s look at it!
As we already mentioned, Lisa Sparks, also known as Lisa Sparxxx, is an American adult film actress. In just 7.5 hours, she has completed the extraordinary achievement. This odd record was set by Lisa Sparks on October 16, 2004, in Warsaw, Poland. You must be startled to learn that she smashed the world record by sleeping with 919 men, up from 759 men previously. Yes, you heard correctly; it is absolutely unbelievable and shocking.
According to the figures provided by the world record directors, she slept for an average of 45 seconds with each man. This indicates that it took 45 seconds for one man to sleep with her before another did the same. She later acknowledged that while she had fun, she had also been in discomfort for approximately a week.
Here are some more interesting details about Lisa Sparks
Many of our readers have already become obsessed with this subject after reading the title. Therefore, we are here to give you all the fascinating information. In a recent interview with Daily Star, Lisa just made the shocking admission.
Here, she asserted that the men were prepared to go when their turn came since “flutters” were there. She actually appeared to be competing that day against two other women. So, by the time the game was through, she had defeated her nearest competitor by a margin of 21 men.
As we previously noted, the adult star defeated the previous record holder in the 2003 Annual World Gangbang Championship, who had slept with 759 people. In actuality, the previous record holder was clearly no match for Lisa the next year when they faced off. In contrast, the 2002 competition saw a record-breaking 646 male competitors. We can only speculate as to how she accomplished this impossibly difficult undertaking.
How did the public learn about this incident?
You can see why it would be nearly impossible to break the Guinness record for sleeping with 919 men in just 7.5 hours. But Lisa Sparks succeeded. Was it, however, sufficiently legal? Let us explain the specifics to you. Lisa went on to say in an interview that when the Polish government heard about this incident from their sources, it infuriated them. They then threatened to have everyone there arrested. They were forced to move the event to a top-secret warehouse as a result.
At this point, Lisa asserted that the situation was so monotonous that she felt compelled to place a McDonald’s order. In her more than 21 years working in the prostitution business, she admitted, “To be completely honest with you all, this event is the one thing I regret doing.” Really amusing, no?
Final Word
You must be familiar with the name Lisa Sparks, don’t you have any idea who she is? Someone set world records in a variety of categories; however, we had never before considered the possibility of persons setting a world record for the most number of people slept with in a single day. Because of this, the celebrity will always stand out from the crowd among those that are similar to them.

WWE Teases Return of LA Knight on SmackDown
The Maximum Male Models stable has certainly made an impression and already has its fans, but many were disappointed to see the former LA Knight recast as Max Dupri to lead the group when they first started making appearances on SmackDown. Then reports came out that suggested he was being removed from the faction altogether, but then the Triple H era started at SummerSlam, and since then not only has he been a part of the faction, but there have also been teases that he is returning to LA Knight sooner than later, and tonight there was another perfectly placed tease.
The Maximum Male Models were set to reveal their Back to School collection, and making the introduction was Max and Maxxine Dupri. Max would lead things off by giving a shoutout to Anaheim California (where tonight's SmackDown is taking place), and then he said they were a stone's throw away from LA. That's when he cut his sentence short and paused, looking around as if something was coming back to him, and then Maxxine got him to resume the introduction.

— WWE (@WWE) September 17, 2022
This follows last week's tease that had him giving a speech about making it through the night, and he had a similar pause there as well. Then he even gave a small yeah, but the next big tease will likely be the return of his trademark "yeaaahhh" he delivered in NXT, and when he does eventually become LA Knight again, the SmackDown roster will have another big fan favorite in the lineup.
Hopefully, we don't have to wait too much longer to see LA Knight back in action, and he instantly gives the brand another big talker on the microphone. As for MMM, right now they are feuding with Hit Row, but perhaps we'll see LA Knight try and take them down once he leaves the group.
Are you excited for the return of LA Knight? Let us know in the comments or as always you can talk all things wrestling with me on Twitter @MattAguilarCB!

1. The Mystery Behind the Crime Wave at 312 Riverside Drive
Michael Wilson | The New York Times | September 14, 2022 | 3,229 words
I don’t know what your usual media diet looks like, but there’s a little upstart out of Gotham that’s been serving up some riveting stories lately — and at the front of the pack is this empathetic profile from Michael Wilson. Every month, 911 dispatchers in New York City field dozens of calls about crimes in progress at an Upper West Side apartment building. Robberies. Stabbings. Self-harm. Elder abuse. All those calls are from a single man named Walter Reed. The thing is, the hellish edifice he’s calling about doesn’t exist. There is no 312 Riverside Drive. Wilson doesn’t string you along to learn that truth as a twist, though. Instead, he gets it out there immediately, so that he can spend the rest of the feature explaining what’s driving Walter Reed’s inescapable compulsion, and how the city’s social safety net is unable to get him the lasting help he so clearly needs. It’s not a mystery at all; it’s a frustrating tragedy. But it’s also a perfect example of the mind-changing, emotionally affecting journalism a newspaper feature can deliver. —PR
2. Roll With It
Joseph Bien-Kahn | Sports Illustrated | September 14, 2022 | 5,410 words
Ian Mackay was paralyzed 14 years ago in a bike accident, leaving the active 26-year-old with the physical abilities of an infant. The unconditional support from his mother Teena, an incredible friend network, and years of emotional healing have all helped Mackay rediscover his love for the outdoors. He first began to explore trails around his family’s home, testing his wheelchair’s limits. Eventually, he tackled weeks-long routes: 335 miles from B.C. to Portland, 476 miles from Coeur d’Alene to Port Angeles. But these rides, Joseph Bien-Kahn explains, are dangerous: Aside from the exhaustion of such challenging trails, Mackay can no longer regulate his body heat, and there’s also the risk of spasms, infections, and sores from sitting for long journeys. Still, he’s up for the adventure. “This wheelchair is my bike,” says Mackay. “I am of the firm belief that more people, not just the mobility-challenged, should get outside and pursue a passion.” Bien-Kahn goes to Sauvie Island to watch Mackay break a world record: the greatest distance covered in 24 hours by a motorized wheelchair. Through beautiful and tender writing, he tells an inspiring story about rediscovering oneself and finding new ways to do what you love. —CLR
3. My 4 Days in Fake Gay-Conversion Therapy
Jason Anthony | Wired | September 1, 2022 | 6,974 words
I have never tried LARPing (live-action role-playing), but I always thought it sounded pretty jolly. Adorn a suit of armor and vanquish someone else dressed as a dragon, that sort of thing. I was naive, for I had never heard of Nordic Larp. Jason Anthony enlightens me in his riveting essay describing these underground games — often played in northern Europe — that take players on dark “thinky head trips.” Anthony attends “The Future is Straight,” where players pretend to be at a gay conversion therapy camp. Reality switches at the end of a James Blake ballad, and things rapidly become bizarre. Reading, I found it hard to fathom why people would choose to put themselves through what ultimately seems a very miserable, disturbing experience. Anthony, too, grabbles with this question: “I try out a new theory on some of the players—that Nordic Larp is black licorice for the soul. By some neurological alchemy, all that sadness feels good.” Somehow, in choosing to re-create the worst possible version of his adolescence, Anthony finds catharsis, but I came away from this essay feeling unsettled. It is in itself a “thinky head trip” — one you won’t be able to stop reading. —CW
4. They Call Her Lamb Mom
AC Shelton | Outside | September 13, 2022 | 3,364 words
Growing up, I had a pet magpie. After the great storm of 1987 destroyed his nest, we found him in our garden — a tiny bedraggled thing with a beak spread astonishingly wide, blindly chirping for food. I proudly gave him the unoriginal name Chirpy, and my mum fed him cat food off the back of a teaspoon. He lived with us for years until, according to my parents, he “moved in with a girlfriend.” (Nowadays, doubts around Chirpy finding domestic bliss creep in.) The magpie turned out to be just the start of a parade of animals to pass through our doors, as people began bringing my mum — a renowned animal lover — creatures to nurse back to health. I remember a hedgehog family in the laundry, robins in the kitchen, pheasants in the downstairs loo, and my dad huffing. These memories flooded back while reading AC Shilton’s beautiful essay about caring for two sick lambs. It’s a simple tale, but one filled with emotion — both for the plight of the lambs and the sense of loss caring for them brings to the surface, as Shilton grabbles with not being able to have children. The prose is magnificent, and the scene of Sebastian the lamb getting to run with a mobility cart is particularly vivid. So too, however, is his passing, and I defy you not to shed a tear. Shilton explains it took a year before she felt she could write about Sebastian. I understand. One day, my mum added a duckling who couldn’t walk to our menagerie. Percy the duckling didn’t make it either: I cried for a week. —CW
5. The Number Ones: Crazy Town’s “Butterfly”
Tom Breihan | Stereogum | September 14, 2022 | 3,306 words
There was some stellar longform journalism published this week — Eliza Shapiro and Brian M. Rosenthal’s groundbreaking investigation of Hasidic yeshivas, for instance, and Casey Cep’s damning look at how Johnson & Johnson is eschewing responsibility for consumer protection — but for this newsletter, I’m going to recommend a deep dive into one of the worst pop songs ever composed. I was 15 when “Butterfly” hit the airwaves. You probably know it; you might even be able to hum the hook or “rap” along to the chorus. It is not a good song. It might be a crime against art. But as part of his effort to review every #1 single in the history of the Billboard‘s Hot 100, Tom Breihan traces how “Butterfly” came to be, illuminating the currents of rap, rock, pop, and fan culture that led to the utterance of the lyrics, “Hey sugar mama, come and dance with me / The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me.” There are moments of deadpan humor and cameos by Paul Ryan and Nancy Meyers. Breihan makes the case that “Butterfly” manages to tip from bad into something else — “the kind of silly bullshit hit song that makes the world just slightly more fun.” I buy it. —SD

The question of whether the 2027 Canada Winter Games should come to Whitehorse will take another step forward in the coming weeks.
A review package has been submitted to the co-hosting territorial and municipal governments before it’s sent to the Canada Games Council on Sept. 23.
The national sporting event will see more than 20 winter sport competitions held over a two-week period in February 2027. The event has been traditionally hosted every four years (with the exception of COVID-19) with the next Winter Games scheduled to begin Feb. 18 in Prince Edward Island. The Canada Summer Games are also traditionally held every four years, with the winter and summer events alternating every two years.
At a Sept. 14 press conference, Whitehorse bid committee chair Piers McDonald announced the bid committee for the 2027 Winter Games is confirming commitments from the city and territory before submitting the comprehensive community information review package to the Canada Games Council.
Council will be presented with the package at its next meeting Sept. 20, with the Yukon government set to also make a decision within the next week.
As McDonald explained, the package lays out the full vision for the Games.
That vision is focused on reconciliation, McDonald said, highlighting a recommendation to include Arctic Sports and Dene Games as part of the recognized sports program, the creation of a $1-million trust fund post-Games to promote and support Indigenous sports and athletes, and a cultural festival that would highlight the Yukon’s First Nations cultures to the rest of the country.
Also outlined in the package are plans to build the athlete’s village at Yukon University, as was the case for the 2007 Canada Winter Games that were hosted in Whitehorse. The units would be converted to student housing after the Games.
The 2007 Games resulted in a residence for student housing and a seniors residence on the site that was then Yukon College.
It’s anticipated the 2027 village would create more affordable student housing options in the city with McDonald describing it as “one step” to help address the need for more affordable housing in the community. He pointed out without units being built at the university, students would be looking off-site for housing, contributing further to the demand around Whitehorse.
Exactly how many units could be created is not yet known as that will ultimately depend on the final design, McDonald said.
While a number of sites around Whitehorse were considered for the athlete’s village, Yukon University was selected as it also met requirements for a large commercial kitchen, seating areas for meals and other spaces needed.
“The athlete’s village is more than housing,” McDonald said.
The package also outlines a new 3,000-square-foot arena built on the same property as Takhini Arena with further plans to see Takhini Arena brought down and a new ice surface built on that spot or Takhini Arena renovated. The two arenas could be attached. The new structure would also serve as the site for the opening and closing ceremonies as well as ice events throughout the Games.
“This would be a major legacy piece for the Games,” McDonald said of the estimated $115-million project.
One event is planned to be hosted in Fort St. John, British Columbia, which has an indoor long track speed skating oval, ensuring it can happen inside. When the Games were hosted in Whitehorse in 2007 an outdoor oval was constructed for long track speed skating, which had to be rescheduled as temperatures dipped below -40 C.
McDonald emphasized efforts would be made to ensure the long track speed skaters are part of the Yukon events with the athletes set to attend the opening or closing ceremonies (depending on the week their event is hosted) and be in Whitehorse after their event is held to cheer on their fellow athletes in other sports.
In addition to the price tags on the new arena and athlete’s village, it’s anticipated the Games will cost $37 million to operate (an amount that’s based on the costs of recent Games, local pricing and other factors). The federal government is anticipated to cover $13.7 million of that with $8.6 million coming from the territory. The remainder would be raised by the host society – which would be formed should the city and territory be awarded the Games – through sponsorship, ticket sales, merchandise and more.
A further $9 million in capital costs are also expected to go to efforts like refurbishing facilities for the Games, sport equipment, athlete’s beds and other items needed. The City of Whitehorse, Yukon government and federal government would each provide $3 million towards the capital costs.
It’s anticipated the Games would generate between $80 million to $110 million in economic spending, bringing more than 3,600 athletes, coaches, families and others to the territory for the event.
“The Yukon is eager and ready to host this truly pan-Canadian event,” McDonald said. “Our overall approach was to build a bid that focuses on the values of reconciliation, connection and resilience and ensures significant infrastructure, economic and social benefits. Whitehorse hosted the 2007 Canada Winter Games and many Yukoners continue to use the legacy infrastructure of those Games. We are confident if Whitehorse wins this bid, the territory will again enjoy similar transformative legacies.”
While Whitehorse city council and the Yukon government will ultimately decide whether to commit to the spending, McDonald and John Glynn-Morris, who sits on the bid committee and was also on-hand for the press conference, argued it is an investment worth making.
It’s about celebrating, investing in and empowering young Canadians. It can bring the country and host community together and contribute to the national fabric, Glynn-Morris said.
“That’s always a worthy, worthy investment,” he commented, later pointing out that while he wasn’t living in Whitehorse in 2007, as a current resident he continues to benefit from the legacies left from the 2007 Games.
Having the physical infrastructure that come with the Games – the Canada Games Centre, for example – can also serve as a draw for potential professionals – doctors, teachers, and others – who are considering moving to the Yukon.
In a Sept. 15 joint statement, the city and territory said they would work together to “review the proposal in detail and determine the best way forward to realize the Canada Winter Games in the Yukon.”
The two governments went on to congratulate and thank the bid committee for their work.
“The Canada Winter Games are an opportunity to show our support for Canada’s top athletes and put Whitehorse on the national stage,” Mayor Laura Cabott said. “This proposal breaks down the economic, community, and social benefits of the Games and why Whitehorse would make a great host city. On behalf of residents, I want to thank the bid committee, and the Chair Piers McDonald for all their work and I look forward to considering this proposal to bring these games to life.”
Community Services Minister Richard Mostyn said he was particularly impressed with the focus on long-term legacies for the territory.
“I now look forward to the council’s review and to working with the federal government on ensuring we can make this bold vision a reality,” he said.
The Canada Games Council is set to visit the territory in October should the bid move forward.
It’s expected a decision by the council on the bid will be made in November.

When Hayao Miyazaki’s animated feature “Spirited Away” premiered in the U.S. 20 years ago, most viewers hadn’t seen anything like it.
Disney distributed the film. But as one critic pointed out, “Seeing just 10 minutes of this English version … will quickly disabuse any discerning viewer of the notion that it is a Disney creation.”
It tells the story of a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro who, when traveling with her parents, stumbles across what appears to be an abandoned theme park. As they explore, the parents are transformed into giant pigs, and Chihiro soon realizes that the park is occupied by strange, supernatural spirits. She ends up working at a bathhouse as she tries to figure out a way to free herself and her parents so they can return home.
The film went on to win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Twenty years later, it’s frequently listed as one of the best animated films of all time.
Yet as a scholar of manga and anime studies, I’m often struck by how popular the film became – and how fondly viewers remember it – given that so many of its elements would have been alien to American audiences.
The manga revolution
Many of the first anime films were inspired by manga, or Japanese comics.
Some of the hallmarks of modern manga, such as characters with big eyes, streaks to signal movement and different-sized panels to convey action, character and emotion more effectively, can be traced to the work of Osamu Tezuka, the so-called “God of Manga.”
Tezuka was influenced by his childhood and Japanese culture, but he was also inspired by American movies, television and comics.
When Tezuka was a child, he attended the performances of Takarazuka, an all-female theater group in Tokyo whose actresses tended to have well-lit, expressive eyes. His father also showed him American animation on a Pathe projector, and he was drawn to wide-eyed characters like Betty Boop and Bambi. Together, they inspired the big, expressive eyes that would become characteristic of Tezuka’s work.
Tezuka’s debut manga, titled “New Treasure Island,” was published in 1947 and became a hit with Japanese youth. Soon an entire manga industry sprang up, churning out vibrantly creative and emotionally relatable comics in a wide range of genres.
Miyazaki was 21 years old when Tezuka’s popular manga “Astro Boy” appeared on TV in Japan in 1963. NBC soon picked it up, airing 102 episodes in the U.S. and exposing millions of Americans to Japanese anime for the first time.
Over the ensuing decades, Americans enthusiastically embraced a range of manga and anime series through franchises like “Dragon Ball,” “Naruto” and “Demon Slayer.”
Doing anime differently
Miyazaki began his career in 1963 as an entry-level animator for Toei animation. He went on to work on a number of animated TV shows and films before founding his own production company, Studio Ghibli, with his longtime friend and collaborator, Takahata Isao, in 1985.
Anime is often based on successful manga series, and it involves creating a vibrant character kingdom and the construction of a world that often lends itself to spinoffs like movies, television shows, musicals, toys and massive merchandising opportunities.
In this sense, many of the films that came out of Studio Ghibli were not really traditional anime. Most lack the merchandizing tie-ins that have become ubiquitous in franchises like “Pokemon” and “Yu-Gi-Oh.” And while some of Ghibli’s films originated as manga, many of them did not. Miyazaki and his team also broke from industry norms by hiring artists as full-time staffers, rather than as underpaid freelancers.
As Miyazaki once said, “Animation has the potential to be far more than just about business, or merchandising, or selling character goods; it can have its own ambitions.”
When the line between good and evil blurs
When “Spirited Away” was released, the only feature-length Japanese animated film most Americans would have likely been exposed to in theaters was “Akira,” which had a limited run in 1990. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences didn’t even award an Oscar for Best Animated Feature until 2001, because Disney and Pixar so thoroughly dominated the genre.
Compared with traditional Western animation, manga and anime tend to reflect a more adult and complicated view of morality, rather than the “good versus evil” paradigm common in children’s media.
“Spirited Away” centers on a spirit world that, while present in various other manga and anime films, challenges non-Japanese audiences. It is unclear whether the spirits will harm or help the protagonist. Miyazaki, New York Times film critic Elvis Mitchell wrote, captures “that fascinating and frightening aspect of having something that seems to represent good become evil.”
The world appears to be inspired by a class of spirits known as “kami” that are venerated in the religion of Shinto, although Miyazaki has noted that he invented his own spirits, rather than use previously known kami. “Demon Slayer,” a 2020 anime film that was a hit in the U.S., also contained characters from the spirit world.
As kami expert Matt Alt told me, “Only a place with countless shrines, each venerating their own locations and local deities, could have dreamed up something like ‘Spirited Away.’”
Yet thanks to the beauty of the film’s visuals – as well as the fact that, deep down, it contains universal storytelling tropes – Miyazaki can get viewers to buy into his world. No matter how strange a shape-shifting sludge spirit might appear to audiences, they can still relate to the spunky, and sometimes sullen, Chihiro.
As Miyazaki explained in an interview, the film’s idiosyncrasies ultimately enhance its universality: “No one waves weapons about or has showdowns using superpowers, but it’s still an adventure story. And while an adventure story, a confrontation between good and evil is not the main theme either. This is supposed to be the story of a young girl who is thrown into another world, where good people and bad are all mixed up and coexisting.”
“In this world,” he continues, “she undergoes rigorous training, learns about friendship and self-sacrifice and, using her own basic smarts, somehow not only survives but manages to return to our world.”
A lasting imprint
While Walt Disney and other American creators made a huge impression on Tezuka, the influences of anime can be seen in countless American films and TV shows.
This sort of cultural cross-pollination, which I detail in my book “Manga and Anime Go to Hollywood,” has been going on for decades.
Miyazaki’s films also have made a unique imprint on the imaginations of a generation of Western animators.
John Lasseter, the former chief creative officer of Pixar, has said that whenever he and his team got stuck for ideas, they would screen a Miyazaki film for inspiration. Domee Shi, the director for Pixar’s “Turning Red,” specifically cited “Spirited Away” as a huge influence. And a 2014 episode of “The Simpsons” even contained a tribute to Miyazaki.
Tezuka once said that a story was like a tree, which is only as strong as its roots.
To me, Miyazaki and his team achieved the highest level of filmmaking by not only creating gorgeous visuals, but by also crafting relatable lead characters, a compelling supporting cast and rich, enthralling worlds. Engaging viewers with a creative story arc, he always found a way to land with an timeless message.
Miyazaki noted that Chihiro ultimately returns to her ordinary world “not by vanquishing evil, but as a result of having learned a new way to live.”
This article has been updated to correct the class of Japanese spirits that those in “Spirited Away” evoke. It is “kami,” not “yokai.”

Fitch Ratings downgraded El Salvador’s credit rating and warned that the liquidity situation is “serious”
The risk measurement agency Fitch Ratings reported on Thursday that downgraded foreign currency issuer default rating long term of The Savior and noted that the liquidity situation is “serious” before the payment of Eurobonds in January 2023.
Fitch indicated in a bulletin that the foreign currency rating was placed at “CC” from a previous “CCC”.
The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukeleannounced last Monday the opening of the early purchase offer for its debt in bonds maturing in 2023 and 2025, with a maximum amount of 360 million dollars.
The rating agency indicated that “El Salvador’s rating downgrade to CC reflects Fitch’s view that El Salvador’s tight fiscal and external liquidity positions and extremely restricted market access amid high fiscal and A large foreign bond maturity of $800 million in January 2023 makes a default of some kind likely.”
He noted that “the government of The Savior recently announced a voluntary cash repurchase of 360 million for its external bonds of 2023 Y 2025 below par, which will likely further weaken its already strained liquidity position.”
He noted that “the external position of The Savior has weakened in the midst of a high current account deficit and upcoming external amortizations” and that foresees “a current account deficit of $2.4 billion in 2022 (7.8% of GDP) and estimates close to 400 million in external repayments with another 800 million due in January 2023″.
The rating agency added that among the factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to a positive rating upgrade is the full and timely payment of the amortization of the January 2023 Eurobonds.
As well as a sustained relaxation of funding constraints through progress in unlocking predictable funding sources.
The Savior offers a price of $910 for every $1,000 of bonds due 2023 and 540 for every $1,000 in 2025 bonds.
The Salvadoran president indicated that “the objective is to buy all available debt on the market from 2023 to 2025.”
“The purchase price does not include accrued and unpaid interest applicable until the settlement date,” adding that “on the settlement date, the holders will also receive the accrued interest on the bonds validly offered and accepted for purchase.”
Between 2023 and 2025, Salvadoran bonds for 1,200 million dollars matureaccording to the Statistical Registry of Securities Issuances of the Republic of El Salvador of the Superintendency of the Financial System (SSF).
The Government of El Salvador hired as an intermediary in this operation the Deutsche Bank Securities.
In an interview with the news agency EFE At the beginning of August, the Minister of Finance, Alejandro Zelaya, He said that “investors have two options: sell with the advance purchase that will be launched or hold until maturity and El Salvador will comply.”
He maintained that the “operation is totally framed in the rules of the market, does not violate the contractual clauses of our bonds and also increases the confidence of our investors.”
At the request of the Government of BukeleCongress enabled the “use of special drawing rights,” which is found in the Central Reserve Bank for 365 million, and a loan for 200 million with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration for the advance purchase of bonds.
The rating agency Moody’s At the beginning of May, it reduced El Salvador’s long-term foreign currency issuer note due to the possibility of a default on the debt that the country must repay in 2023 and 2025 and the lack of a “credible plan” to face the situation.

Erie police charge pair in drive-by shooting that wounded two men at eastside intersection
Erie police use tip, surveillance video to identify suspects who fired shots from an SUV that struck two victims Sept. 3
Erie police have filed criminal charges against two people in a Sept. 3 drive-by shooting at a busy eastside intersection that wounded two people.
Mekayla P. Foley, 21, accused of driving the sport-utility vehicle the shots were fired from, was in the Erie County Prison Friday following her arraignment on Tuesday night.
The accused shooter, Victor C. Henderson, 22, remained at large Friday.
Foley and Henderson each face attempted homicide and other charges in the shooting, which happened on Sept. 3 at about 9:15 p.m. at the intersection of East 12th and Parade streets. Two men, ages 19 and 51, were wounded in the shooting.
A motive in the shooting remained unknown Friday.
Sept. 3 shooting:One man shot in chest, other in hip in drive-by shooting at 12th, Parade streets in Erie
The shooting
According to information in the criminal complaint filed against Foley, two Erie police officers were in the 300 block of East 12th Street on the evening of the shooting when they heard five to six gunshots about 50 feet north of them, and they saw two men on the ground on the northwest corner of the intersection. One of the officers also saw a blue sport-utility vehicle traveling west at high speed, detectives wrote in the complaint.
The 51-year-old man had a gunshot wound to his left hip and the 19-year-old man had a gunshot wound to his upper right chest, police reported.
Investigators said Friday that they believe the 19-year-old was the intended target of the shooting. The 51-year-old man, who was not with the 19-year-old and who was reportedly walking with another person, was an innocent bystander, according to detectives.
Both men were taken to the hospital for treatment. Updated information on their conditions was not available Friday.
One of the victims told police at the scene that the shots were fired from the passenger side of a passing blue SUV. The victim said the driver was a female, and the passenger wore a black ski mask, detectives wrote in the complaint.
Police collected five 9 mm shell casings in the westbound lanes of East 12th Street and located surveillance video that showed the SUV traveling south on Parade Street before turning west onto East 12th Street, according to information in the complaint.
The investigation
Detectives said they found additional surveillance video that showed the suspected SUV traveling along other eastside streets around the time of the shooting. Investigators also received information several days later identifying Foley and Henderson as possible suspects in the shooting, according to information in the complaint.
Investigators determined that Foley owns a blue Ford SUV, and they located an address for her. In checking surveillance video from the area of the address, they found footage that showed a male and a female exiting the address on the evening of the shooting and getting into a blue Ford Escape before leaving, detectives wrote in the complaint.
Video showed the SUV returning to the area a short time later and only the female exiting the vehicle and entering the address, according to investigators. A male is then seen returning to the area on foot and entering the address. A short time after that, the male is seen exiting the address while appearing to change his clothes, and later the female is seen on video exiting the address and wiping the vehicle with a cloth and a bottle of fluid, detectives wrote in the complaint.
Foley was detained following a traffic stop in the city on Sept. 8. She told detectives during an interview that on Sept. 3, she and Henderson had driven to the residence of Henderson's relative so he could get some clothing. After leaving, they traveled a route consistent with the route detectives said they saw the SUV traveling on surveillance video, according to information in the complaint.
Foley told detectives that, as she turned onto East 12th Street from Parade Street, she heard shots being fired by Henderson and described the weapon as a handgun she had seen Henderson in possession of on several occasions. She also said Henderson was wearing a black ski mask at the time, detectives wrote in the complaint.
Foley said she and Henderson got into an argument after the shooting and Henderson got out of the vehicle. She said she returned home, and Henderson arrived minutes later and changed his clothes before leaving again. Foley said Henderson told her to not tell anyone and to wipe the vehicle clean, according to information in the complaint.
In addition to the attempted homicide charge, Foley was arraigned Tuesday night on charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit recklessly endangering, tampering with evidence, and disorderly conduct.
Henderson faces charges including attempted homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering and carrying a firearm without a license.

A composting pilot program in the city of Frederick will be expanded from two Neighborhood Advisory Councils to four, after a vote by the city’s aldermen Thursday.
The city already operates a composting pilot program with Key City Compost in NACs 5 and 11. An additional $100,000 included in the fiscal 2023 budget will allow the program to be extended to single-family homes and townhouses in NACs 3 and 8, according to a report prepared by the city’s staff.
Data collected during the program will allow the city to better understand how a program might operate citywide.
The staff is getting ready to do a mid-term report for the first two NACs. The report will be discussed at a workshop for the mayor and aldermen soon, said Jenny Willoughby, the city’s sustainability manager.
The new NACs were selected to get a more well-rounded look at the service, including some neighborhoods that will make up a larger percentage of the population as the city grows, according to the staff report.
Design of Golden Mile multimodal lane delayedA major transportation project on the west side of Frederick will take longer to design than planned.
Frederick’s aldermen on Thursday approved an extension of an agreement with the Maryland Department of Transportation to extend the timeline for design of a multimodal lane along the city’s Golden Mile until August 2024.
The plan would build a project along westbound U.S. 40 with a 12-foot-wide bus-only and right-turn lane, a 5-foot buffer and a 10-foot bidirectional bike path along a 1.2-mile stretch from Baughman’s Lane to Waverley Drive.
The project is funded through a 2019 Transportation Alternatives Program grant from the State Highway Administration, part of the Maryland Department of Transportation.
The initial grant called for the project to be done by June 2021. The city was granted an extension until August 2023.
But delays from SHA and protracted negotiations with one design consultant caused the need to extend the timeline, according to a report prepared by staff members from the city.
With the new timeline, the project is expected to be finished in December 2023.

Three juveniles, including one infant, suffered major injuries Friday morning in a two-car crash on Highway 1 at Santa Lucia Canyon Road, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
Four adults suffered moderate injuries and another suffered minor injuries in the crash at about 9:30 a.m., Fire Department spokesman Capt. Scott Safechuck said.
The infant, accompanied by firefighter paramedics, was flown to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital aboard the county’s Air Support Unit Helicopter 3, while the other two juveniles were transported by ambulance, one to Lompoc Medical Center and one to Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria.
A report on the crash was not available from the Buellton Area Office of the CHP as of 5 p.m. Friday.
But Caltrans District 5 said the southbound lane of Highway 1 was shut down at the Vandenberg Space Force Base main gate until about 11:25 a.m. while the patients were transported and the wreckage was cleared away.

Pakistan rejects flood relief donation worth $145,000 from Bangladesh
Pakistan has rejected Bangladesh's offer to supply humanitarian aid worth 14 million takas (roughly $145,000) as the country continued to suffer great loss during monsoon flooding

Pakistan has rejected Bangladesh's offer to supply humanitarian aid worth 14 million takas (roughly $145,000) as the country continued to suffer great loss during monsoon flooding, according to local media.
On September 1, Bangladesh's Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief reportedly allocated funds for 10 tonnes of biscuits, 10 tonnes of dry cakes, 1,00,000 water purification tablets, 50,000 packets of oral saline, 5,000 mosquito nets, 2,000 blankets, and 2,000 tents to be sent to Pakistan.
However, it remains to be seen whether Islamabad would accept the friendly and humanitarian Bangladeshi gesture, Khaama Press reported.
According to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Awami League government had always been generous towards humanity and that the authorities concerned had been directed to assist in the relief efforts in Pakistan.
"Pakistan Army is reportedly averse to the proposal of aid from Bangladesh as any such relief assistance may undermine Pakistan's global image," she said as per local media.
Pakistan fears that floods might have caused over $40 billion in economic losses and damages as the National Flood Response Coordination Centre (NFRCC) dismissed the initial assessment of $18 billion, Express Tribune reported.
The $40 billion losses were flagged in a flood response centre meeting during discussion on an interim report titled "An Early Assessment of Flood Impact on Pakistan's Economy", presented by the Ministry of Finance.

Flashy and flamboyant, the films of Baz Luhrmann exist in their own cinematic bubble, where style often comes to define substance. A cabaret filmmaker, Luhrmann capitulated to international popularity following the success of his ‘red curtain trilogy’ that explored the freneticism of the theatre, with his debut Strictly Ballroom providing the springboard for him to make Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet.
Ever since his success in and around the turn of the new millennium, the Australian filmmaker has become a staple of modern cinema, even taking his skills behind the camera to several other creative art forms. In addition to his six feature films, Luhrmann has created high-profile advertisements, collaborating with such companies as Chanel, Prada and H&M, among many others.
A style guru and maker of outrageously enjoyable cinema, Luhrmann is a methodical artist, having only made a handful of films since his inception into the industry in 1992. With that being said, when he does crop up in modern cinema, he makes each and every one of his creations totally and utterly unmissable.
Take a look at our run-down of the filmmaker’s work in our list below.
Baz Luhrmann movie’s ranked from worst to best:
6. Australia (2008)
The Australian filmmaker’s 2008 movie may be the only one in his glittering filmography that could be considered truly ‘bad’, with the downright boring release failing to rouse many fans in critical or commercial circles. The tale itself is an epic romance set in northern Australia shortly before WWII, where an Englishwoman inherits a vast ranch and is tasked with moving thousands of cattle across unforgiving desolate lands.
Clocking in with a runtime of two hours and 45 minutes, Australia is no easy breeze of a movie, with national heroes Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman unable to do the heavy lifting to save this dull script.
5. The Great Gatsby (2013)
Time has been quite kind to Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic The Great Gatsby, with the flashy style of the modern movie being seen as more charming than tacky nine years later. Winning two Academy Awards for Costume and Production Design, it doesn’t take a genius to see the allure of Luhrmann’s bedazzling adaptation that goes for style over substance.
It helps that the movie bulges with industry class, featuring the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan in front of the camera, whilst the likes of Jay-Z, Beyoncé and will.i.am each contributed to the soundtrack.
4. Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Luhrmann’s camp cabaret 2001 musical Moulin Rouge! stars Ewan McGregor, who brings vim and vigour to his leading role, elevating the film to a higher contemporary status. From Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ to Elton John’s ‘Your Song’, Luhrmann’s electrifyingly eccentric film is lit up by McGregor, playing Christian, a poet who falls for a cabaret performer.
Winning Academy Awards for the films Art Direction and Costume Design, Moulin Rouge! is well remembered as one of contemporary cinema’s greatest musicals, as well as the first time McGregor was able to show off his theatrical singing abilities.
3. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
No doubt the most famous and most popular modern adaptation of William Shakespeare, Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet is an ingenious take on the iconic romance tale that oozes style and passionate 1990s glamour. Headed up by Leonardo DiCaprio, who was soon due to hit global fame with James Cameron’s Titanic in 1997, the success of the ‘90s classic was both fortuitous and undoubtedly well-deserved.
Welcoming a significant number of young people into the world of Shakespeare, Luhrmann’s take on a classic doesn’t merely rest on its laurels. It takes risks and shoots for the stars.
2. Elvis (2022)
Thanks to a central performance from Austin Butler that is both painstakingly accurate as well as dramatically on-point, Luhrmann’s latest movie, a biopic of the American musical icon, Elvis Presley, is a rousing success. Chronicling his journey from his childhood to becoming a rock and movie star in the 1950s, the film focuses on the relationship between him and his manager whilst exploring the mind of one of the most famous men in American history.
Though Tom Hanks gives a somewhat peculiar supporting performance, his role adds to the camp glamour of Elvis, which also stars Olivia DeJonge, Natasha Bassett and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
1. Strictly Ballroom (1992)
Luhrmann’s very first film remains his all-time best, with Strictly Ballroom being an utterly fabulous comedy-drama that contains all the style and comedy of the director’s remarkable filmography. Built on the foundations of camp Australian cinema, the filmmaker’s debut feature film is a spectacular surreal satire so sharp that it feels like it was ripped from the world of South Park. The story sees a gutsy, creative ballroom dancer named Scott (Paul Mercurio) defy the rules of conventional dancing and seek a higher level of the craft by embracing such a free-spirited ethos.
With a similar wit and striking approach to satire, Luhrmann created a rom-com that was undeniably contemporary whilst inextricably linked to the classic structured ‘follow your dreams’ formula.

Panaji, September 16
A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team reached Goa on Friday to probe the death of BJP leader Sonali Phogat after the Ministry of Home Affairs ordered the investigation upon state’s Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s proposal. A senior official said the agency team would visit Anjuna police station and the hotel where Phogat stayed before she died.
“I have faith in the Goa Police. They are investigating well and have gathered clues but considering the popular sentiment and Phogat’s daughter’s request, I have proposed a CBI probe,” CM Sawant said.
Phogat was taken to St Anthony’s Hospital on August 23, where she was declared brought dead. The police claimed the deceased was fed methamphetamine, the night she was partying at Curlies restaurant, and arrested Sudhir Sangwan and Sukwinder Singh for murder, and restaurant co-owner Edwin Nunes along with two drug peddlers under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. — IANS

The Justice Department is asking the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta to lift part of an order from Judge Aileen Cannon that bars the government from using classified materials seized from Mar-A-Lago in its investigation and requiring the government to disclose those materials to the special master appointed in the case.
The DOJ is not appealing the entire order establishing the special master process, asking for what it deems "modest but critically important relief."
The appeal was expected; in a filing last week, the department had given Judge Aileen Cannon a deadline until Sept. 15 to respond to their request.
The department has not been able to use the seized material in their criminal investigation since Cannon's order to deny the DOJ access to the classified documents and appoint a special master to review the material for any that Trump may be able to assert privilege over,
The 11th Circuit mostly compromises Republican judges, many of whom were appointed by Trump. But Neal Devins of William and Mary School of Law told NPR that while Cannon, a Trump appointee, has been siding with the former president thus far, the judges on the court of appeals may not necessarily follow suit.
"We may actually see Trump judges on the 11th Circuit overturn this decision, just as we saw Trump judges during the elections reject claims of election fraud pretty much uniformly," Devins said.
In the meantime, a special master has been selected to get involved in the investigation.
Thursday night, Cannon named Raymond Dearie as special master to review materials seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, denying the Justice Department's request to block the process, in which the government cannot use the materials seized for their criminal investigation until the review is complete.
Dearie, a veteran federal judge, was a candidate proposed by Trump who the Justice Department did not object to. He holds senior status in the Eastern District of New York and was first appointed by Ronald Reagan.
Cannon directed Dearie to issue interim reports and recommendations "as appropriate" during the review, which she ordered to be complete by Nov. 30, closer to the timeline request by the Trump lawyers. The government wanted the review done by mid-October.
The Justice Department had previously stated that they didn't want the special master to have access to classified material, but Cannon has said that request is meritless. But she did say that the court would direct the special master to prioritize the "approximately 100 documents marked as classified."
Cannon also says she's unconvinced with the government's argument that the FBI's criminal investigation into the documents is intertwined with the intelligence community's assessment.
Cannon notes that Trump's team will bear the cost of the professional fees and expenses of the special master and any support staff or expert consultants who are engaged with the process. Trump's team had originally requested the cost be split between them and the government.
The Justice Department has said they will appeal the order for a special master.

Let's look at what went down during Friday's show.
Darby Allin vs. Matt Hardy
- The way Hardy hit the steel steps when Allin pushed him looked nasty.
- Hardy being able to hit a moonsault at his age after everything his body has been through is an impressive feat.
- The House of Black can still work without Malakai Black. Positioning Julia as the brains of the operation is a smart move.
Hardy and Allin were both in the ring as the episode began. They shook hands to show respect before locking up for the first time in this bout. They started off slow with some simple holds, counters and takedowns.
Allin had the upper hand after sending Hardy into the steel steps, but his desire to take risks bit him in the butt when he missed hitting Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb on the apron and crashed to the ground.
The 47-year-old veteran is still capable of having a good match, but many years in the business and some injuries have forced him to adjust his style quite a bit. That is part of what makes it so impressive that he can still do the things he can do at this stage in his career.
He and Allin worked well together, but Allin was the one who ended up with his hand raised after using Last Supper to get the pin. After he left, Hardy was attacked by Brody King, who then proceeded to call out Allin and Sting.
They did come out on the stage and accepted a challenge for a tag match at Grand Slam. King still choked Hardy out anyway. The match had some limitations but overall, this was a decent way to start the show.
Winner: Darby Allin
Grade: C+
Notable Moments and Observations
Penelope Ford vs. Willow Nightingale
- The double knee Ford hit on the apron looked great. Willow sold is well, too.
- Ford bridging back to avoid a clothesline before hitting a cutter was a great spot.
- Ford's finisher is cool, but sometimes it takes a little too long to apply.
After a promo from Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta and Chris Jericho, Willow and Ford came to the ring for the second match of the night.
While Willow's power advantage gave her an edge early on, Ford was able to turn things around and maintain control throughout most of the commercial break.
Ford used her speed and agility to combat Nightingale's strength, but something like a pounce from somebody like Willow is going to leave a lasting impression.
The Superbad Girl was able to secure the submission win. This bout was given a decent amount of time, but a lot of it was during the break. Picture-in-picture helps, but it's not quite as good as seeing the match full-screen. This was a fun outing, but if Tony Khan is paying attention to the crowd, he should give Nightingale a push soon.
Winner: Penelope Ford
Grade: C+
Notable Moments and Observations
Danhausen vs. Ethan Page
- Danhausen's character should not work on TV as well as it does. It's great how he has taken what should be a niche indie gimmick and turned it into something people genuinely love.
- Jericho rooting for Danhausen because he was afraid of being cursed was hilarious.
Danhausen mocked Page's smile before they really got the match started. All Ego took the painted wrestler down and beat him into the mat right away.
Danhausen gave him a defiant slap, but that just angered his much bigger opponent. Page hit his finisher for a quick win. This was a squash, but based on how AEW is using both guys, it kind of worked.
Winner: Ethan Page
Grade: C

Elmer Moore Jr. Hits the Ground Running At WHEDA
Moore formerly ran Scale Up Milwaukee, now he's serving in the governor's cabinet.
Elmer Moore Jr. says he has the best of everything in his new role as the CEO of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, or WHEDA.
WHEDA is a state agency that works to provide affordable housing and improve the quality of life of Wisconsinites.
“My primary job right now is learning,” Moore said. “This role includes a lot, like I’m a part of the governor’s cabinet.”
He said though he never imagined being in his role, it’s exactly where he’s meant to be.
“I am a part of the lucky minority that has absolute clarity about why I exist. I understand that my existence is to be catalytic to communities,” he said. “WHEDA is an incredibly interesting organization with a lot of amazing resources, and those resources start at the brain power and mission of the leadership team. “
Moore said being part of that leadership team is aligned with his purpose of centering on humans.
“Elmer is committed to helping other people and initiatives be the best they can be,” said Lafayette Crump, Milwaukee’s city development commissioner. “He does care a great deal about helping others access their full potential.”
Originally from Baltimore, Moore came to Milwaukee in 2013 with no interest in staying in the city. But said he fell in love with Milwaukee.
“Joaquín Altoro (the former CEO of WHEDA) took me on a two-and-a-half-hour driving tour of the city and that changed the geography of the city for me,” he said. “I started to see it as a city of neighborhoods and cultural history.”
He also serves as chairman of the board for the Social Development Commission, board member for the Harbor District and as an adjunct instructor for Marquette University and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, instructing students on entrepreneurship.
He said all these roles have aligned with his purpose.
“My first week of business school someone explained that you can change your industry, or you can (change) your function,” he said. “Well, I don’t know what my function is, and I definitely don’t have an industry, and that’s how I’m doing what I’m doing.”
Moore has a bachelor’s degree from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and a master’s degree in business administration from Columbia Business School in New York City.
“Elmer is so passionate about the community. I met him in a discussion about equity,” said Abra Fortson, the government affairs and executive support manager for the Social Development Commission. “He is enthusiastic about everything Milwaukee.”
Moore plans to leverage his background in business development, job creation, strategic partnerships, and community engagement to support WHEDA’s commitment to housing equity and economic opportunity.
“The value in being an outsider coming into this organization is I get to ask questions,” he said. “It’s helpful. It opens how we introduce and reintroduce ourselves and how to connect and reconnect.”
Moore said WHEDA does extremely complicated work, and his vision is that the organization continues to reach the people it serves.
“I want people to know what WHEDA does, so they know when to call us,” he said.
WHEDA focuses on affordable housing, but Moore said that doesn’t always look like what we might imagine.
“WHEDA is helping people buy homes on an individual level, helping developers build buildings on another level and WHEDA is even adding black millionaires to the work through our work and support of developers like Brandon Rule.”
“During the pandemic, Elmer started baking,” said Crump. “He got pretty good at baking delicious bread and the commitment he put into learning how to bake and create his flavors of bread is a testament to the way he approaches everything.”
Despite Moore’s many accomplishments, he said he’s happy about his work for another reason.
“I can’t believe the things I’ve done,” he said. “I’ve made my mother proud.”
NNS Spotlight: ‘I get to ask questions’: Elmer Moore Jr. plunges into new role at Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority was originally published by the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service.

The future of law enforcement? Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office says drones are fighting crimes, saving lives
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Unmanned Aerial Systems Unit has doubled in size since it began service in 2018. The team's leader, Sgt. Jermiah Gates, says the team has also grown its crime-fighting capabilities.
He says drones are used in a variety of calls, including SWAT situations, traffic accidents, and missing persons cases.
Gates says the drones can truly be lifesaving in high-danger situations.
"We've been used on several SWAT calls," Gates said. "We have had some successful ones where we've had people inside the house that have attacked officers or shot at officers. We've taken the drones inside, and have been able to locate the suspect inside the house, keep an eye on the suspect while the SWAT team was able to go directly to them, and then pull them out of the house."
Some drones in the ACSO arsenal have thermal imaging capabilities, to help find people in all sorts of terrain. Gates is also hoping to add another drone soon that shatters glass in SWAT situations and has communications abilities so negotiators can look at and talk to a suspect in real time.
Currently, the team does not have an official budget and instead uses dollars from different agency factions as needed. Gates hopes to see that change as the team grows to assist in more sheriff's office issues.
When the team first started, Gates said they only responded to a handful of calls. Now this year, Gates says they took up to 80 calls.
The team consists of 11 deputies who are each assigned to various disciplines in the agency, including traffic patrol, investigations, and school resources. All team members carry a drone in their patrol vehicle so it can be deployed at a moment's notice.
The unit also helps other agencies with various calls. In 2019, they helped Aurora Police find a bear on the loose.
Now, the unit is helping other agencies get off the ground with similar programs of their own.
"We're getting with several agencies right now about what they need, what kind of equipment they might want to purchase, the laws that they have to follow when it comes to drones, and we're trying to help," Gates said. "We're always willing to help any other agency to start their own programs."
The unit meets once a month to practice drone pilot skills with a specialized training course near the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds.
Team member Deputy Bryan Teany says it's a pleasure serving on the unit.
"Being able to help another agency, start their program here hopefully, will be another hugely rewarding thing, and they're going to be able to use some of my experience with their own experience and serve their community," Teany.
What about some concerns of invasion of privacy?
"I don't care what's in your backyard. I'm not looking in your backyard. I'm looking at our scene and only our scene, and I'm not processing anything that happens outside of that, that's not our concern," said Gates. "We're focused on our scene, and only the crimes at hand, and not any other type of surveillance, and even when we're using things like thermal cameras, I can't see inside your house. I can't see if there's someone inside, it's not like the movies."
Gates believes drones in law enforcement are only going to take off from here.
"This is going to be the future of law enforcement," Gates said. "I think at some point, you're going to see, as the technology gets better and we are able to use more with the airspace, I think you're going to see where the drones respond to the calls. We can utilize drones to respond to a call for service to get eyes on something. Whether it be a suspicious vehicle or shooting or something, some type of a crime we can get the drones in there before the officers ever get there. So, we can get make it safer... It's amazing the way that this has just grown over leaps and bounds over the last few years."

There is no rest for the Ultimate Fighting Championship and this week, we have a new Fight Night with Cory Sandhagen and Yadong Song as the main event. Besides the top fight, the full card includes a bunch of promising bouts between rising stars and technical fighters that know how to make a spectacle. Here are our predictions for the full card.
Mariya Agapova vs Gillian Robertson (Women's Flyweight Bout)
Mariya Agapova Preview
Mariya is a versatile fighter. She works equally well in the stance and on the ground. On her feet, Agapova throws good combinations and has high mobility and good headmovement. Due to her good skills in boxing, Mariya breaks her opponent on different levels, causing serious damage at the same time, and can really shock her opponent with one accurate hit.
Agapova has a good BJJ base too. Every time she sees an opportunity to submit, she takes it. She won 5 out of 10 victories through submission techniques.
Gillian Robertson Preview
Robertson is most dangerous on the ground. The athlete has a good BJJ base, thanks to which she has a good sense of balance and has dangerous techniques in her arsenal. She won 7 out of 10 victories with the help of submissions.
Gillian has a vestigial stance. She hits inaccurately and misses a lot of shots. Robertson has trouble facing opponents with good striking technique or impressive physical strength. The athlete from Canada could not do anything against Tayla Santos and Miranda Maverick, who confidently controlled Gillian on the ground, scored points, and won.
Agapova vs Robertson Prediction
I think it's too early to write off Mariya Agapova, especially in the fight against Gillian Robertson. The Canadian athlete is bad at takedowns and lacks the physical strength to impose Agapova's control in the clinch.
In the stance, due to superiority in reach by 13 cm and advantages in skills, Mariya will be able to keep her opponent at a comfortable distance, striking on different levels. Given that Robertson has a poor defense in the standing position, I assume that she will miss almost all of Agapova's punches.
Trey Ogden vs Daniel Zellhuber (Lightweight Bout)
Trey Ogden Preview
Trey focuses on takedowns and ground control in battle. Due to his background in BJJ, he tries to instantly take an advantageous position and attempt a submission. If he fails to make a submission, Ogden relies on passive control to score.
Trey's grappling is not ultimate. He is often in a hurry to make a submission and makes mistakes, because of which he himself can get into a submission. The fight against Levitt showed that just BJJ skills of Trey would not be enough to compete at a high level in the UFC.
Daniel Zellhuber Preview
Daniel prefers to fight on the stand. This is a fast and technical fighter with outstanding anthropometry. He skillfully uses the advantage in reach to control the distance, inflict damage on the opponent and avoid his retaliatory attacks. I will note the knockout power of Zellhuber – 7 out of 12 victories he won by knockouts.
It is difficult to assess the real level of the Mexican. He opposed weak opposition, which he easily knocked out or submitted. It is not known how he will prove himself in fights against more serious opponents.
Ogden vs Zellhuber Prediction
Trey Ogden doesn't stand out from the second-rate opposition that Zellhuber is used to dealing with. The fight will start in the standing position and Trey will start having problems from the start of the fight. If he doesn’t quickly close the distance, then he will receive a hail of heavy blows, from which he will at least be knocked down, and it will be a matter of technique to finish him off.
Anthony Hernandez vs Marc-Andre Barriault (Middleweight Bout)
Anthony Hernandez Preview
Anthony is a versatile fighter. He works technically in the stand, aggressively breaking opponents at a high pace. Hernandez alternates the direction of attacks to the body and to the head, which allows him not only to deal damage but also to squander the opponent on cardio.
On the ground, Anthony relies on BJJ skills, in which he has a brown belt. He won 6 of 8 victories by submission.
Anthony has a lot of technical gaps. On his feet, he flirts and forgets about protection. In a fight with Kevin Holland, this led to the fact that Hernandez flew into a knockout already in the 39th second.
Marc-Andre Barriault Preview
Marc-Andre prefers to work in a standing position. He throws accurate shots, moves well in the octagon, and has impressive knockout power.
The Canadian regularly has problems if he is transferred to the ground. He lies passively under the opponent, allowing him to improve his position and score points through control.
I note that Barrio is not able to work as the 2nd number in the rack. He does not have enough reaction to notice the beginning of the opponent's attack in time, as a result, he begins to miss blows and does not hit back.
Hernandez vs Barriault Prediction
Marc-André is a solid fighter, but Anthony Hernandez will be stylistically uncomfortable for him. The American will aggressively press the opponent, shooting him from unusual angles, and inflict damage on different levels. The Canadian simply cannot stand the high pace and will sag functionally. And a large amount of incoming damage will make him fall closer to the middle of the fight.
Marc-Andre's only trump card is knockout power. He has power in his fists, and with one accurate hit, he can cut Hernandez down. Anthony opens up a lot during the attack. If the Canadian catches him at that moment, he can win the fight.
Tanner Boser vs Rodrigo Nascimento Ferreira (Heavyweight Bout)
Tanner Boser Preview
Tanner has a background in Karate and prefers to fight in a standing position. This is a mobile and fast fighter, working at medium and long distances.
Boser's main disadvantage is wrestling. Most of the losses he earned in fights with good grapplers, who transferred him to the ground and did not allow him to rise back to his feet. In the bottom position, Tanner is unable to sweep or improve the position, which allows opponents to score points through control.
The knockout power of a fighter is overrated. Tanner is not aggressive enough. He attacks with single strikes and often fails to develop an attack due to his lack of combinative work skills. In the UFC, he finished either weak or age-old fighters.
Rodrigo Ferreira Preview
Rodrigo is a bright finisher. He got all the victories ahead of schedule: 2 knockouts and 6 submissions. The strength of the Brazilian is wrestling and BJJ. He controls his opponents well on the ground, does well with ground and pound, and has a wide arsenal of submissions.
Nascimento has a poor standing defense. He takes too many hits. Therefore, he can get knocked out quickly.
Boser vs Ferreira Prediction
Tanner Boser shouldn't be a favorite here. His only chance of winning is to knock out Nascimento. But this will only happen if his punch successfully flies right into the Brazilian's jaw. Due to the fact that the Canadian is far from the most aggressive fighter attacking with single punches, he will not be able to effectively develop the offensive potential. Nascimento is throwing a lot more punches and he will have a chance to take down Boser.
If Rodrigo manages to implement the BJJ game plan, then Tanner's chances of winning will be reduced even more. In the clinch, the Brazilian will tie the opponent and try to take him to the ground. Tanner becomes defenseless when space is taken from him and cannot adequately defend himself on the canvas.
Andre Fili vs Bill Algeo (Featherweight Bout)
This is the featured fight on the main card of UFC on ESPN+ 68: Cory Sandhagen vs Yadong Song, and it could easily be one of the most entertaining fights of the evening.
Andre Fili Preview
Andre has good footwork, thanks to which he throws out unconventional stunning combinations on different levels, often hits the opponent, and moves out of the opponent’s line of attack, avoiding damage. I note that thanks to good cardio, Andre can effectively work for 3 rounds.
Andre's Achilles' heel is wrestling. He can’t oppose anything to good wrestlers: he defends poorly and when put in the bottom position, he can’t do a flip or rise to a standing position.
Bill Algeo Preview
Algeo is a versatile fighter with balanced standing and ground skills. He prefers an aggressive style of fighting with a lot of punches. On the ground, the fighter works well from the back and can perform a variety of submissions.
In a duel against Herbert Burns, Bill broke free from a submission attempt that seemed hopeless. Bill doesn't have the skills to compete at a high level. In the stand, he is inattentive and misses a large number of punches. On the ground, he lets himself lie down and makes mistakes.
Fili vs Algeo Prediction
Andre has a good chance to keep his contract with the promotion. Most likely, Algeo will not impose a wrestling exchange on him and most of the fight will take place in the standing position. On the feet, Fili is superior in skill to the opponent. He is faster, more mobile, more accurate, and more diverse. In the last fight, he was unlucky enough to miss a hard punch, but Bill does not have that necessary strength. Therefore, we expect that Andre will be able to shoot the opponent in the standing position and at least win on points.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Tuya Inc. (NYSE: TUYA) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and related prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with Tuya's March 2021 initial public offering (the "IPO") of the important October 11, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Tuya securities pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Tuya class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7007 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 11, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the IPO Registration Statement featured false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a material portion of Tuya's China-based customers were engaged in the widespread and systematic manipulation of reviews and product offerings in violation of Amazon.com's terms of use; (2) prior to the IPO, a consumer investigation and data breach had exposed an illicit fake review scheme being perpetrated by many of Tuya's clients, among others, which included, among other things, the exposure of 13 million records of organized fake review scams linked to over 200,000 Amazon account profiles; (3) as a result, there was a substantial risk that a material portion of Tuya's significant customers would be barred from using Amazon.com's platform, negatively impacting Tuya's business, revenue, earnings, and prospects; and (4) as such, the IPO's Registration Statement's representations regarding Tuya's historical financial and operational metrics and purported market opportunities and expected growth did not accurately reflect the actual business, operations, financial results, and trajectory of Tuya at the time of the IPO. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Tuya class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7007 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

TORONTO (AP) — Matt Chapman hit two home runs, George Springer added a three-run shot and the Toronto Blue Jays maintained their position in the AL wild-card race, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Friday night.
Chapman went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and three runs to help the Blue Jays (82-63) win for the fifth time in six meetings with the Orioles.
Adley Rutschman hit a two-run home run and Gunnar Henderson added a solo shot for Baltimore (75-68). The Orioles were unable to gain ground on the three leading wild-card contenders, Toronto, Tampa Bay and Seattle.

Springer restored Toronto’s lead with a two-out, full-count blast into the second deck in the fifth, his 21st.
Chapman drove in Bo Bichette’s leadoff single with another two-out homer in the sixth.

Quants That Surf Intraday Market Trends Bounce Back Amid US Stock Chaos
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Not everyone is suffering in this ugly period on Wall Street. A fast-moving breed of quant trader is making money surfing the day-to-day momentum of US equities -- extending the cohort’s comeback in a year marked by poor liquidity and enduring volatility.
Intraday trend-followers -- who wager that stock gains and losses will intensify within the same trading session -- had their best day in four months during the big Tuesday plunge in the S&P 500 on shock inflation data.
According to a Deutsche Bank index, the strategy is now on course for one of its best weeks in 2022 as it extends an 8.6% comeback from a January trough. It’s now up 1.4% this year, compared with an 18% slump in the American equity benchmark.
These systematic players seek to exploit the theory that any big stock move is likely to accelerate by the close of the trading day, since the likes of passive funds and option dealers need to adjust their positions in the final minutes of the session.
The strategy struggled last year amid signs the approach had become too popular. Now it’s bouncing back as rampant inflation, rising rates and slowdown fears drag down the market.
“We’ve seen good performance of this strategy,” particularly for the Nasdaq 100, said Sandrine Ungari, head of cross-asset quant research at Societe Generale SA. “We’ve had a longstanding selloff and liquidity conditions have resumed to be quite bad.”
In its most basic form, the intraday trade is simple: When a gauge like the S&P 500 jumps at the open, go long futures -- or short them if it’s down -- and close any positions at the end of each day.
The bet is that if the gauge opens, say, 1% lower, index funds and options dealers are more likely to need to offload shares late in the day. And because selloffs tend to trigger more panic and less liquidity, the strategy should be even more profitable on bad days.
This flavor of trend-following gained a huge following after famously surging during the Covid selloff in March 2020. Soon after however, it started losing money for nearly two straight years.
While other factors were at play -- including inconvenient market-turning news during the day -- one theory holds that the strategy attracted too much cash on the back of 2020 returns. Business is thought to have boomed for investment banks packaging intraday trades into swap products for institutions.
The thinking goes that all those trend followers closing positions late in the day actually thwarted the trade. Whatever the reason, the Deutsche Bank index slid 8.5% last year as the S&P 500 surged 27%. In January, it fell 3% in one day, its worst crash since 2015.
“We also had the unwinding of flows around the close of all the intraday strategies,” said Ungari. “That created a negative drag in performance.”

TORONTO (AP) — Matt Chapman hit two home runs, George Springer added a three-run shot and the Toronto Blue Jays maintained their position in the AL wild-card race, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 on Friday night.
Chapman went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and three runs to help the Blue Jays (82-63) win for the fifth time in six meetings with the Orioles.

BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez had an RBI single in the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox rallied late to beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Friday night.
Martinez's single to left was just the third hit for Boston, which had just tied it up when reliever Scott Barlow (4-2) walked Jason Verdugo with the bases loaded after Dylan Coleman issued two walks to start the inning.
Garrett Whitlock (4-2) gave up a hit in the eighth and Matt Strahm got the last three outs for his fourth save.
Boston had lost six of eight, including a two-game sweep by the Yankees at home this week and nearly fell to the struggling Royals.
Kansas City, which has lost four straight and eight of 10, led 1-0 after MJ Melendez opened the sixth with a triple and easily scored on a single by Salvador Perez.
The Royals finished with eight hits — all coming from different players. Only Nicky Lopez, who batted eighth, failed to get a hit.
Jonathan Heasley started and pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings for the Royals, allowing two hits and striking out five.
Michael Wacha went seven innings for Boston, giving up one run and seven hits while striking out four.
Melendez led off the sixth with a drive deep to center, where Kiké Hernández leaped high at the base of the wall but couldn't quite reach the ball. Melendez was already well around second before Tommy Pham ran over from left and got the ball back to the infield.
Coleman started the eighth for Kansas City and issued back-to-back walks. Barlow loaded the bases by walking Rafael Devers, struck out Xander Bogaerts, but walked Verdugo on four pitches with Hernández trotting home for the tying run.
Martinez was next and lined a single to left that easily scored Abraham Almonte, who pinch-hit for Kevin Plawecki and drew the second walk of the inning.
Boston squandered an opportunity in the fifth after a pair of walks and a single by Arroyo loaded the bases with one out for Hernández, who grounded into a double play.
HOLD UP
Some baserunning mistakes caught both clubs early in the game. Devers singled for Boston with one out in the first, but strayed way too far when Bogaerts hit a soft fly that Bobby Witt Jr. caught and easily made the throw to double-up Devers.
In the third, Dozier led off with a liner off the Green Monster for the Royals’ first hit, but attempted to stretch it into a double and was easily caught by Pham’s throw from left.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: Witt fouled a ball off the top of his left foot in the sixth and needed a few minutes before stepping back into the batter’s box. Manager Mike Matheny and a member of the Royals’ training staff came out of the dugout to make sure the star rookie SS was OK.
Red Sox: 2B Trevor Story was out of the lineup for the third straight game since injuring his left heel on a base Sunday at Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora said Story is improving and could return to the lineup this weekend.
UP NEXT
Royals RHP Brady Singer (8-4, 3.21 ERA) faces veteran LHP Rich Hill (7-6, 4.56) for Boston on Saturday in the second of the three-game series.

Which paddle board for kids is best?
Paddle boarding is a hybrid of surfing and kayaking. You stand on a paddle board as you would on a surfboard and paddle as you would a kayak. Also called stand-up paddle boarding, it’s a great way to have fun on the water while getting a full-body workout.
The biggest difference between paddle boarding, surfing and kayaking is that surfers and kayakers can handle waves and rough water, but paddle boarding is typically an activity that needs smooth water to have the most fun. If you are looking for a lightweight inflatable paddle board, take a look at the Atoll 11-Foot Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board.
What to know before you buy a paddle board for kids
Paddle boards are also called stand-up paddle boards and are referred to by insiders as SUPs. They’re a great way to get out and have fun on the water. Before you choose one, here are some things to take into account.
Inflatable or rigid?
- Inflatable paddle boards blow up like beach rafts — the more air you put in, the stiffer they get. Hand or foot pumps are usually included, as are repair kits. Inflatable paddle boards are the easiest to transport and store.
- Rigid paddle boards are made of fiberglass, epoxies and resins that are more durable and offer better performance than inflatables because their shapes are sleeker. A few are made of aluminum.
Dimensions
- Length: All paddle boards are measured by how long they are. Lengths range from as short as 6 feet to as long as 15 feet.
- Width: Generally speaking, a paddle board’s width is proportionate to its length. Wider paddle boards are more stable while longer ones are easier to paddle.
What to look for in a quality paddle board for kids
Paddle boards come in four basic shapes, each designed for a different activity. Most kids want full-sized paddle boards and the industry labels most paddle boards as for kids and adults.
All-around paddle boards
This is the most popular type of paddle board and is great for beginners. All-around boards are 10 or 11 feet long, have rounded noses and come in inflatable and rigid versions.
Touring paddle boards
This design is a compromise between speed and stability. Touring boards are typically 12 to 13 feet long. Their long decks have plenty of room for bringing along camping gear. Touring boards may be rigid or inflatable.
Surfing
These are the shortest of the four types, usually 8-10 feet long. They have pointed noses and hulls made to skim on the surface of the water. Serious surfers use only rigid paddle boards.
Racing
These are the longest and skinniest of the paddle boards, 11 to 14 feet long, with pointed noses and narrow tails. Because they are so narrow, they are the easiest to tip over. Most serious racers use rigid paddle boards.
Paddles
- Length is the key to being able to maintain proper, efficient paddling form. Look for paddles that are long enough that you don’t have to stoop over to paddle.
- Blade size and shape determine how much energy it takes to paddle through the water. Choose paddles for kids that are easy to use.
- Materials determine the weight and stiffness of a paddle. Lightweight paddles are the best for kids.
How much you can expect to spend on a paddle board for kids
Most standup paddle boards cost from $100-$300. Racing boats cost in the thousands.
Paddle board for kids FAQ
Are all paddle boards inflatable?
A. No, but because they are cushiony, cost less to make and ship and are easy to transport, inflatables have taken over the paddle board industry.
Who invented paddle boarding?
A. Legend tells that back in the 1940s, Hawaiian surf instructors stood up on their boards to better instruct student surfers. The addition of a paddle let them speed up or slow down and also was useful as a balancing device.
What is the farthest anyone has gone on a paddle board?
A. According to the Guinness Book of Records, Shilpika Gautam traveled 1,641 miles along the Ganges River in India to raise awareness of the need for clean water.

Russia's delegation at the United Nations General Assembly released an eyebrow-raising statement condemning the United States for allowing private satellites to crowd Earth's orbit, arguing that they could become a "legitimate target" if they were to ever be used against Russia.
While the statement doesn't directly name SpaceX's Starlink satellite constellation by name, it's almost certainly the target of the statement.
"It’s clear that Starlink has become an important part of Ukraine’s command, control and communication system in parts of the country," The Economist's Shashank Joshi tweeted.
It's far from the first thinly veiled threat Russia has aimed at its adversaries. In fact, it's not even the first saber rattling it's done regarding activity in our planet's orbit.
However, the hypocrisy of the outburst wasn't lost on commentators.
"Curiously, this missive omits Russia’s recent use of a missile to destroy an old satellite, showering debris into orbits flown by space stations," Ars Technica's Eric Berger tweeted in response to the statement, referring to Russia's anti-satellite missile test last year.
And regardless, what Russia is really mad about is almost certainly that SpaceX has been using Starlink to bringing internet to Ukrainians during the ongoing invasion.
Konstantin Vorontsov, a member of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the head of the country's UN Office for Disarmament Affairs delegation, argued in the statement that the delegation "would like to underline an extremely dangerous trend that goes beyond the harmless use of outer space technologies and has become apparent during the events in Ukraine."
Vorontsov also accused the US and its allies of using its commercial infrastructure in space "for military purposes," arguing that "it seems like our colleagues do not realize that such actions in fact constitute indirect involvement in military conflicts."
Therefore, "quasi-civilian infrastructure may become a legitimate target for retaliation." And in light of the aforementioned anti-satellite missile test, it might not be an idle threat.
The violent event, which saw one of the country's own satellites being blown up into countless pieces last November, drew strong condemnation from the international community, with the US Space Command announcing at the time that a resulting "debris cloud" forced astronauts on board the International Space Station to shelter in their escape vehicles.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has clearly considered the possibility of Starlink becoming a target, saying earlier this year that "we can launch satellites faster than they can launch anti-satellites missiles."
It's a pertinent topic, as Russia's statement was made just one day after Germany and Japan pledged not to conduct anti-satellite tests, as Space.com points out.
In short, given Russia's violent actions in both Ukraine and in space, the statement comes off as the kind of aggressive browbeating we've come to expect — and it's unlikely to sway the opinions of other members of the UN.

Week Three Questions and Things to Watch Against Texas A&M
Miami heads into one of the biggest games of the year 2-0 and outscoring Bethune-Cookman and Southern Miss 100-20. The step up in talent is obvious, but the Texas A&M Aggies struggled against an inferior Sam Houston State team and took a loss against what was a 0-1 Appalachian State team that needed just 17 points to finish off A&M.
Miami comes in as the surprising underdog and will have to answer multiple questions to pull off the upset in week three:
Will Tyler Van Dyke live up to his hype?
Tyler Van Dyke has been a Godsend since taking over as the quarterback for Miami and his hype is the highest we have seen since Brad Kaaya, who failed to live up to his first-round billing. For Van Dyke to break the pattern of just "good" quarterbacks leading Miami, he will have to grab a signature win and Saturday is the ultimate opportunity to start doing just that.
So far he is 8-3 in games where he has received the most snaps and has grabbed wins against ranked opponents twice, 18th ranked NC State and 17th ranked Pitt last year in back-to-back games. This is the fork in the road for Miami's season and Van Dyke's draft stock. If he can put another signature notch in his belt, the path to 'greatness' is easily attainable.
Does the passing game have enough without wide receiver Xavier Restrepo?
We know what Van Dyke can bring to the table based on the 11 game sample size of his playing career but the most productive player in the Miami passing attack just went down with Xavier Restrepo's foot injury. The opportunity is there for a number of the receivers and safety James Williams said this week that "Our whole receiver room is great. They’re hungry."
The former Plantation wide receiver Jacolby George returns from his two-game suspension and the all-state receiver is one of the most consistent receivers in the room from fall camp.
Key'Shawn Smith is now a two-year starter but has been underwhelming outside of being a kick returner through two games. He is fourth on the team in receiving and a step up from one of the most veteran offensive skill position players will be needed.
Brashard Smith will likely see added reps in the slot and his explosive skill set could replace some of the big plays lost with the absence of Restrepo.
Can Henry Parrish continue his strong start?
Through two games, running back Henry Parrish has made everyone forget that Jaylan Knighton has been mostly unavailable to start the year. He is averaging 136 total yards and two touchdowns per game as the lead back and has allowed Van Dyke to ease his way into the year and not rely on a relatively inexperienced receiver group.
With Knighton healthy this week, we will get a true glimpse of the running back by committee. Will he need 20+ touches to keep it going or can he share the load and still make the same impact? We will see against an A&M defensive front that has held opponents to just 3.6 yards per carry through two games.
Will the sack production continue to improve?
The weak link of the Aggie offense has been the offensive line so far and Miami improved their sack numbers from two in week one to three in week two. The defensive line was constantly causing pressure against Southern Miss in the second half and the talent of defensive tackle Leonard Taylor has gone from flashes to full games. The return of Miami's best edge player, Ahkeem Mesidor, will be a welcomed addition as well.
The Aggies have allowed 11.5 tackles for loss in two games and allowed two sacks last week from App State. If Miami can continue to be aggressive and push the pocket on new starting quarterback Max Johnson, the struggles through the first two weeks might just continue.

Martha's Vineyard Declares 'Humanitarian Crisis,' Ted Cruz Has Perfect Response
When just 50 illegal aliens showed up on the doorstep of the ultra-rich left-wingers at tony Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts this week, it was deemed a “humanitarian crisis.”
But Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz had the perfect response to the shrill declaration of a “crisis” at the playground of the rich and powerful.
On Wednesday, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planeloads of illegal aliens from Venezuela to the affluent island of Martha’s Vineyard, which has styled itself as a “sanctuary destination,” according to The Associated Press.
Once the illegals arrived in the liberal enclave, local activists flew into a tizzy.
On Thursday morning, Heather Arpin, public information officer for the Dukes County Emergency Management Association, sent out an update on the island’s “humanitarian response.”
The Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce shared the news release on Twitter, saying, “To our Island community, here is an update on current humanitarian crisis on Martha’s Vineyard.”
To our Island community, here is an update on current humanitarian crisis on Martha’s Vineyard….we thank people for their continued help. pic.twitter.com/f9YRJSJPow
— Visit Martha’s Vineyard (@VisitMV) September 15, 2022
But Cruz quickly clapped back at the proclamation of a “crisis” with a perfectly worded retort.
“If 50 constitutes a humanitarian crisis in Martha’s Vineyard, what the hell is 4.2 MILLION?” he tweeted.
If 50 constitutes a humanitarian crisis in Martha’s Vineyard, what the hell is 4.2 MILLION? https://t.co/zdMshotEVW
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 15, 2022
In a follow-up tweet, the senator said that is the number of illegal immigrants who have “flooded small towns in Texas.”
🚨🚨🚨 Leftist hypocrisy: National Guard sent to interdict 50 illegal immigrants who disturbed liberals’ golf games & Chardonnay at Martha’s Vineyard.
Biden does NOTHING to address 4.2 MILLION illegal immigrants who have flooded small towns in Texas.
Biden doesn’t care. https://t.co/j5JhPk4JxJ
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 16, 2022
Cruz highlighted the left’s hypocrisy even further by noting that 15,000 illegal immigrants crossed into Del Rio, Texas, in a single day, while Martha’s Vineyard went into “crisis” mode over 50 of them.
Folks on Martha’s Vineyard are describing the burdens from 50 illegal immigrants.
To put that in perspective, the small town of Del Rio, TX has about 30,000 residents.
I was there when 15,000 Haitian illegal immigrants were crossing in to Del Rio IN A SINGLE DAY.
15,000 > 50 https://t.co/gnlvxFBFTS
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 15, 2022
All this wailing and gnashing of teeth from a community that has prided itself on being a “sanctuary” for illegals is quite a spectacle.
As soon as the 50 Venezuelans touched down on the Massachusetts island, conservatives on social media began to highlight a trend of the last few years among wealthy liberals across the nation, including on Martha’s Vineyard: posting signs in front of their high-dollar homes that welcomed illegals.
This sign is in Martha’s Vineyard. Note that they “Stand with immigrants, with refugees,” etc.
What happened to their solidarity? pic.twitter.com/ZoaFGpCzUb
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) September 15, 2022
Many noted that it was easy for the ultra-rich inhabitants of the island to post these signs when they were sure no illegal immigrants would be coming.
Meanwhile, there was no word from Martha’s Vineyard resident and former President Barack Obama if he was prepared to take a few illegals into his multimillion-dollar home. After all, Obama could fit quite a few in his 10-bedroom mansion.
But Cruz wasn’t done. It turned out that after only 24 hours, the all-caring, all-loving, all-welcoming residents of Martha’s Vineyard had shipped all 50 illegals right out of their community.
“I thought Martha’s Vineyard was a ‘sanctuary city’?” he tweeted Friday morning. “I thought they declared themselves a ‘haven’ for illegal immigrants??”
“Just 50 arrive, and the socialist billionaires send them away—to a military base, no less—in JUST 24 hours.”
And they did so on buses with an electronic sign that said, “Have a nice day,” no less!
I thought Martha’s Vineyard was a “sanctuary city”?
I thought they declared themselves a “haven” for illegal immigrants??
Just 50 arrive, and the socialist billionaires send them away—to a military base, no less—in JUST 24 hours. 🤦♂ https://t.co/3fwOghLIe2
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 16, 2022
What could be more hypocritical?
It just goes to show that wealthy liberals don’t really want illegal immigrants among them no matter how welcoming they claim to be.

A new Guinness World Record has been set for the fastest mile driven in reverse, with a time of 1:15.18.
The record was set June 15, 2022, by Scot Burner at NCM Motorsports Park, the racetrack attached to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Burner drove a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with a manual transmission. He used a manual because its speed in reverse isn’t governed, and instead maxes out when the engine reaches its maximum revolutions per minute. Automatic cars are speed-governed in reverse.
Burner has a YouTube channel called Always in Reverse where he drives various cars in reverse to see how fast they’ll go. He averaged 52.1 mph during his record run. In a Corvette video he made last November driving the same car, he hit 54 mph in reverse on a public road.
According to the entry for the record on the Guinness World Records website, Burner realized he could break the record after noticing the previous record was a time he had already unofficially beaten. One of his videos shows him hitting a slightly faster top speed of 56 mph—in a Kia Sorento.
At least one other driver has gone faster in reverse without officially claiming the fastest-mile record. Then Audi Formula E driver Daniel Act hit 130 mph in Schaeffler Group’s electric Audi RS 3 touring car in 2018, but apparently no one timed him over a mile.
It’s possible to go too fast in reverse, at least as far as safety regulators are concerned. In 2017, the Mercedes-AMG G65 was recalled because the software that limited top speed in reverse wasn’t properly calibrated, potentially allowing vehicles to exceed the 16 mph deemed safe. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.5-liter V-12, the G65 was capable of a claimed 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds while going forward, so it was probably a good idea to rein it in while backing up.

Scotts Valley police are also investigating two other suspects that were involved in the theft in a Walgreens.
According to officers, the two thieves entered the Walgreens and proceeded to steal thousands of dollars of merchandise.
Those same two suspects then returned to the same location later that week and repeated the act.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A gold judicial collar made of glass beads that belonged to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has sold at auction for $176,775.
The piece was part of a collection of about 75 items of Ginsburg’s that were sold to benefit charity. In total, bidders paid nearly $517,000 for items in the online auction which ended Friday. Sunday marks the two-year anniversary of the liberal icon’s death at 87.
The judicial collar was the item with the highest purchase price, and its sale marks the first time any of the late justice’s signature neckwear has been available for purchase. Her family donated some of the justices’ most well-known collars to the Smithsonian.
In addition to the collar, other items that were auctioned included: a gavel that sold for $20,400, a pair of Ginsburg’s opera glasses that sold for $10,837.50 and a shawl that sold for $12,750. A pair of her black lace gloves sold for $16,575 while a cream pair sold for $12,750.
The auction was conducted by Bonhams, which also conducted an online auction of her books in that brought in $2.3 million. In April, some 150 items — including art Ginsburg displayed in her home and office — raised more than $800,000 for Washington National Opera, one of the late justice’s passions.
Proceeds from the latest sale will fund an endowment in Ginsburg’s honor benefitting SOS Children’s Villages, a organization that supports vulnerable children around the world. Ginsburg’s daughter-in-law, Patrice Michaels, is on the organization’s advisory board.

Biden tells Putin not to use nukes as his forces are pushed back in Ukraine
President Joe Biden has warned Vladmir Putin to avoid using nuclear weapons as his forces are pushed back into Ukraine or face “consequences”.
In a preview for this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley asked the president what words he would have for his Russian counterpart if he considered using tactical chemical or nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Biden replied, “No.” Don’t. Don’t. You will change the face of war like never before since World War II.
When Pelley pushed the president on America’s response if Putin crossed the line, Biden declined to comment on a specific plan, saying only that the United States would act if nuclear weapons were put on the line.
“It will be consequential,” Biden said. ‘[Russia] will become more of an outcast in the world than they ever have been.
“And depending on the extent of what they do, that will determine what response would occur.”
President Joe Biden has warned Vladimir Putin that Russia will face ‘consequences’ if it decides to use nuclear or chemical weapons in Ukraine
The warning came as Russia suffered yet another defeat from Ukrainian forces backed by Western military aid. Pictured: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a surprise visit to the newly recaptured town of Izium on Wednesday
Ukrainian forces, backed by military aid from the West, have managed to push back Russia in key towns as the Kremlin frontline retreats east
Biden’s response comes a day after his administration pledged an additional $600 million in military aid to Ukraine, which successfully recaptured another major city from Russian forces on Wednesday.
The White House said it was the 21st time the Department of Defense has removed weapons and other equipment from shelves for delivery to Ukraine.
The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that helped Ukrainian forces push back Russian forces in parts of the east and south.
More recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky helped raise his country’s flag over the newly retaken Russian stronghold of Izyum as he celebrated a stunning counterattack that routed Putin’s forces in the north of the country. .
“Ukraine is coming back to its own,” a military spokesman says, as growing hope for a comprehensive victory against Putin’s forces begins to spread across the country following the latest Russian humiliation on the battlefield.
Zelensky (pictured in Izyum) had used an overnight address to praise his troops’ advances, amid growing sentiment that pushing Russian troops out of the country is possible
As Russian news outlets tried to downplay Ukraine’s success, Zelensky (right) was back in Kyiv on Friday to present the Lifesaving Hero of the Year awards to strengthen the nation’s unity.
The victory came just a week after Ukraine liberated the town of Balakliya, as soldiers were seen cheering on local residents freed from Russian control.
The towns of Izyum, Kupyansk and Vovchansk, which formed the staging post for the Kremlin’s attacks in the region and contain essential railway lines to bring munitions and other supplies to its soldiers, are now under Ukrainian control.
Moscow’s recent rout in northeastern Ukraine was its biggest military defeat since the withdrawal of Russian troops from areas near Kyiv more than five months ago.
In a statement on the United States’ commitment to Ukraine, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “With admirable courage and determination, the Ukrainian people are defending their homeland and fighting for their future.
“The capabilities we provide are carefully calibrated to make the biggest difference on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine’s hand at the negotiating table when the time is right.”
Pictured: Rubble in the town of Izyum, which was devastated by outgoing Russian forces as Ukrainian soldiers liberated the people
The conflict in Ukraine remains bloody, with government officials counting 440 separate graves for the conflict in Izyum on Friday.
The United States has committed an additional $600 million in military assistance to help Ukraine, with the total United States contribution amounting to $15.9 billion.
The decision to move quickly to new aid – on the heels of an injection of nearly $2.9 billion in aid and financial support announced last week and more than $3 billion announced at the end of August – underlines the intention of the United States to ensure that Ukraine can sustain its staggering counterattack that was launched earlier this month.
This most recent funding included $2.2 billion in long-term military funding that Blinken announced during a visit to Ukraine last week, and a $675 million weapons package announced by the Secretary of State. Defense Lloyd Austin in Europe on the same day.
The $2.2 billion announced by Blinken in Kyiv is earmarked for Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners, who potentially risk future Russian aggression, it said. United States.
The latest set of weapons systems brings total US aid to Ukraine to nearly $15.9 billion since Biden took office.
US officials watching the counteroffensive were careful not to declare victory premature, noting that Russia still has substantial troops and resources.
And they are wary of what Putin might do to reverse the trend.
But US leaders have also made clear that precision weapons and rocket systems supplied by the United States and its allies – including the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, and the Anti-Radiation Missile at high speed, or HARM – were essential for the radical change in momentum.

Daniel Vogelbach hits bomb against former team, Mets beat Pirates 4-3
A second straight win, a wish fulfilled, a team that looks to be discovering itself again.
All of those things were on display at Citi Field on Friday night. The Mets took care of the Pirates 4-3 after knocking them around on Thursday. They answered their fans’ pleas for good, normal baseball after getting surprisingly swept by the Cubs earlier in the week and they did many of the things that made them so hard to beat all season.
The Mets got at least seven innings from Taijuan Walker for his second consecutive start. Amid a troubling second half (which was something that Walker dealt with in 2021 as well), many wondered if games against the Marlins and Pirates would straighten him out. With 10 strikeouts over his seven innings in Miami, then two earned runs in his 7.1 against the Pirates, Walker has answered that question.
In his last two times out, Walker has looked much more like the reputable pitcher he was in the season’s early going than the one who posted 7.03 ERA in his six previous starts. He had a great curveball on Friday and used it to exploit the Pirates, who have the National League’s worst offense by wRC+. His last pitch of the night put the Mets’ backs up against the wall, though. Pittsburgh’s gargantuan shortstop Oneil Cruz summoned all of his strength to hit a dead center field home run, bringing the Pirates within one run in the eighth inning and ending Walker’s night.
Walker’s counterpart, Pittsburgh righty Mitch Keller, wasn’t bad by any means. There are definitely some moments from this game that he would like back, though. After retiring his first seven hitters, Keller walked Eduardo Escobar in the bottom of the third inning. Buck Showalter then called for a hit and run with Tomas Nido at the plate, one of the team’s best players at handling the bat. Nido mostly used that skill for sacrifice bunts — he had 12 of them entering play on Friday, one more than Arizona’s Geraldo Perdomo for the MLB lead — but in this spot he got to execute a different old school play.
Escobar ran on an 0-1 sinker and even though the pitch was up and inside, Nido did an exemplary job of staying inside the ball and hitting it to the opposite field. It’d be hard to draw up a better hit and run, especially with Escobar’s above-average speed. The man who led the major leagues in triples in 2019 is still fairly fleet of foot and he scored on Nido’s jam shot to give the Mets an early lead. While the pitch was located well and he got no help from his defense on the play, Keller will regret that walk to Escobar that let the whole thing play out.
Keller’s only other real mistake was leaving a ball up and over the plate to Daniel Vogelbach. The mercurial designated hitter knew exactly what to do with it, driving it to left-center field for a solo home run that traveled 399 feet at 102.5 miles per hour.
The home run was Vogelbach’s first against his former team, who kept him in the yard while the Mets were at PNC Park. On defense, the Mets got a sensational play that might have helped keep the Pirates in the yard. Making just his fifth start of the season in right field, Jeff McNeil sized up a Cruz fly ball in the fifth inning that looked like it grew wings.
As the ball kept going and going, so did McNeil, who eventually ran out of room and had to make a jump for it. When he landed back on the warning track, McNeil immediately raised his glove to signal that he had made the best outfield catch of his career. It’s hard to say whether the ball would have cleared the wall or hit the top of it, but either way, McNeil added another feather to his versatile cap.
The final score — which was fastened into place by Edwin Diaz’s five-out save — may have been a little snug for the Mets’ liking. But wins are wins at this point of the year and even with the tight margin, the Mets did many things well. They got good starting pitching, timely, well-executed hits and even stole three bases.
Your 2022 New York Mets now have 91 wins for the first time since 2006, a year where they fell one win shy of a World Series berth.

Stephen Strasburg doesn’t know if he will play in MLB again
Stephen Strasburg is not sure whether to play in the major leagues again.
The former Nationals ace detailed his career-threatening injuries and rehab that limited him to just one start this season with The Washington Post.
“I feel like every time I’ve had an injury, I felt like I was going to be the best coming back,” Strasburg told the outlet. “…That’s the one that definitely remains a big question mark.” I realize that time is running out. It’s been almost three years since I’ve been able to pitch competitively, and it’s not like I’m getting any younger.
Now 34, Strasbourg has not thrown for more than three months. He had a rib and two neck muscles removed during surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition that notably derailed the career of Matt Harvey, in the summer of 2021. He returned to do a start in June of this season, but quickly fell back on the injured. list with a stress reaction in his ribs.
Injuries have plagued Strasbourg’s once ultra-promising career. After helping lead the Nationals to the 2019 World Series title, posting an 18-6 record with a 3.32 ERA in the regular season and earning World Series MVP honors – then signing a $245 million contract extension dollars over seven years — he’s only made eight starts in three seasons.
Surgery for carpal tunnel neuritis preceded his surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome the previous summer in 2020, but Strasbourg now believes carpal tunnel surgery could have delayed the more serious diagnosis, he told the log.
As early as 2018, Strasbourg said he felt the first signs of thoracic outlet syndrome, including persistent tightness in the neck. The team took smaller measures that initially seemed to work, such as a Botox injection in his neck, which allowed him to perform at a high level in 2019.
The issues continued to persist in subsequent seasons, however. In 2021, after his carpal tunnel surgery, he experienced stiff neck and shoulder pain, which numerous cortisone injections did not seem to alleviate, according to the report. He ended up quitting it after five starts and had thoracic outlet surgery.
“I did very little exercise and saw improvements in my shoulder position,” said Strasburg, who is at Nationals Park for every home game and coordinates with medical staff at the stadium. team when the club is on the road. “But I feel like the strength isn’t quite there, and I don’t really know what the future holds.”
Strasbourg has suffered multiple setbacks in the 14 months since the operation, raising his new doubts about his career. More recently, he had a nerve problem with his upper brachial plexus, which he is unable to strengthen. All he can do is wait.
“All the way down my arm there was trauma,” Strasburg said. “You can’t do much. It’s not like you can train your nervous system to work better.
“IF only I could. … There is still a strong desire to figure out this puzzle.

Orioles allow 3 homers in 6-3 loss to Blue Jays to open crucial series between wild-card contenders
Jordan Lyles was one pitch away from getting out of the fifth inning unscathed. Instead, the full-count curveball left the bat of Toronto Blue Jays star George Springer in a hurry, sailed over the outfield fence and brought the Rogers Centre crowd to its feet, creating the kind of noise few Orioles players have experienced thus far in their careers.
That it was a three-run homer had plenty to do with the surge of energy. But the implications attached to this series in Toronto had even more to do with it.
Here they are, the Blue Jays and the Orioles, battling for postseason positioning in mid-September. One team expected to be here; the other far more of a surprise. And the first game of this critical series Friday night went the way of Toronto, 6-3, moving it six games ahead of Baltimore in the American League wild-card race.
Springer’s 422-foot blast was the major blow, ending Lyles’ evening with four runs allowed on five hits through five innings. Lyles had allowed a leadoff single to Matt Chapman and a walk to Raimel Tapia in the fifth before a lineout and strikeout left him on the verge of escaping with Baltimore’s lead intact.
But Lyles, who threw two other curveballs to Springer in that at-bat, finally hung one in the wrong spot. Springer launched it, bringing his OPS against the Orioles to .979 in his career — the second highest against any team in which he has at least 100 plate appearances.
The Orioles fell further behind when Chapman crushed the second homer of his night off right-hander Joey Krehbiel to drive in two more. The third baseman had gone deep off Lyles in the second inning, with another full-count mistake pitch coming back to haunt him.
But the Orioles’ pitching staff had little room to maneuver, not with an offense that was limited to five hits during the Blue Jays’ bullpen game. Outfielder Cedric Mullins broke through in the fourth, becoming Baltimore’s first base runner with a triple into the right-center field gap off left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Then rookie catcher Adley Rutschman hit a line-drive homer for his first long ball as a right-handed hitter this season.
But that breakthrough against Kikuchi was short-lived; the Blue Jays retired the next 11 Orioles in order before rookie Gunnar Henderson’s seventh-inning single. And while Austin Hays and Jorge Mateo reached base in the eighth, Baltimore didn’t capitalize.
Henderson found a way to momentarily quell the noise inside Rogers Centre with two outs in the ninth inning, hitting a solo homer of his own. But the noise picked up a moment later as the Blue Jays took care of business in the first game of a critical weekend series full of playoff implications.
Around the horn
- Grayson Rodriguez, in his first start Friday for Triple-A Norfolk since recovering from a Grade 2 right lat muscle strain, threw five scoreless innings on 72 pitches. Rodriguez allowed just two hits and a walk with four strikeouts. Considered the top pitching prospect in baseball, Rodriguez has worked back through three shorter rehab outings, including two last week for Double-A Bowie.
- Infielder Jordan Westburg hit his 27th home run this season Friday, the most of any Orioles minor leaguer. He finished with five hits for the second time this season. For Bowie, infielder Connor Norby followed with his 26th homer. It’s the first time since 2017 two hitters in Baltimore’s farm system have posted at least 25 homers in a season.
- Left-hander Alexander Wells cleared outright waivers after recovering from a UCL strain and was assigned to Norfolk.

Bear in tree on Colorado State University campus is safely removed and released into the wild.
A bear in a tree on the campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins has been safely removed from the school environment by wildlife officers, who moved the animal to a natural environment.
The bear, a subadult sow weighing about 200 pounds, was spotted around 6 a.m. Friday wandering the Old Town neighborhood, according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife news release. Around 7:30 a.m., the bear was spotted on the CSU campus.
Wildlife officers arrived and tranquilized the bear, lowered it from the tree and moved the sow to its natural habitat on Friday afternoon.
Today our wildlife officers moved a bear from the CSU Fort Collins campus to its natural habitat.
Officers received a call early this morning and when they arrived on the scene, they found a 200 pound juvenile bear in a tree. pic.twitter.com/16Xrie0eAe
— CPW NE Region (@CPW_NE) September 16, 2022
The bear does not appear to have suffered any injuries, although exhausted from his excursion. Bear activity increases in late summer when the animals are fattening up for winter hibernation.
Colorado black bears are going into hyperphagia and will spend up to 20 hours a day trying to eat more than 20,000 calories to prepare for winter, the statement said.
CPW reminds Coloradans to properly store all garbage and to lock windows and doors accessible to bears. Here are some tips and precautions to help prevent human-wildlife conflict that can save a bear’s life:
- Take out the garbage the morning of the pick-up.
- Clean trash cans regularly to keep them free of food odors.
- Use a bear-proof trash can or dumpster.
- Remove bird feeders from outdoor areas.
- Secure compost heaps. Bears are attracted to the smell of rotting food.
- Clean the grill after each use.
- Clean up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck.
“As bears begin to prepare for hibernation and hunt for food, Coloradans may see more bear activity in urban areas,” said Brandon Muller, CPW’s deputy wildlife director, in the press release. “When bears become too comfortable with humans, they can destroy property or even become a threat to human safety.”

Twins blow late lead, lose to Guardians on wild pitch in series opener
CLEVELAND — The last time the Twins left Cleveland, they did so after watching three late leads slip away, three winnable games spiral out of control.
In the interim, they bolstered a bullpen badly in need of help with multiple trade deadline acquisitions. Yet Friday’s return to Cleveland featured the same type of ugly meltdown the Twins saw in June. The Twins dropped the first game of their pivotal series, coughing up four runs between the seventh and eighth innings to lose 4-3 on Friday night at Progressive Field.
The game-winning run came around to score in the eighth inning when Jhoan Duran uncorked a wild pitch that bounced all the way to the backstop. Catcher Gary Sánchez lost sight of it, allowing Josh Naylor to race in from second base and score.
That came after a seventh inning in which the Twins saw their long-held lead wiped away. With a pair of runners on — the first two batters reached on a Nick Gordon error and a single off Caleb Thielbar — the Twins summoned Griffin Jax.
Jax promptly allowed a single up the middle to Myles Straw and then a two-out, two-run single to Amed Rosario to tie things up, spoiling a great start from Bailey Ober in his long-awaited return from the injured list.
Ober, who hadn’t pitched in a major league game since June 1 because of a groin injury, breezed through his five innings of work. He allowed just a hit — a fourth-inning single to Oscar Gonzalez — at one point sending down eight straight batters.
The righty limited hard contact and faced very little trouble, but was lifted after 70 pitches — he threw 66 in a rehab start last Sunday — as the Twins turned the game over to the bullpen.
The Twins had taken a third-inning lead on a run-scoring double from Jose Miranda and added another pair of runs on Jake Cave’s two-run home run in the fourth inning.
The Twins’ offense did little as the game went on, though, collecting just two singles in the final five innings.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols hit the 698th home run of his career Friday night against the Cincinnati Reds. The game-tying two-run blast -- Pujols' 19th of the season -- came in the sixth inning off a first-pitch slider from right-hander Raynel Espinal.
Here's a look:
Albert Pujols with No. 698‼️
— CBS Sports HQ (@CBSSportsHQ) September 17, 2022
2-run shot to tie the game😤
🎥:@BallySportsMW pic.twitter.com/Eyi5NUPG3V
That no-doubter to deep left exited the bat at 106.3 mph and wound up traveling 427 feet. That's just Pujols' seventh home run of the season to come off a right-hander, and it's the eighth that he's hit at home in 2022.
The important number, however, is 698. Indeed, Pujols now needs just two more home runs to become the fourth player in MLB history to reach the 700 home run threshold. The other three are Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714).
Pujols' increasingly regular playing time remains no act of charity on the part of manager Oliver Marmol. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer is now slashing a highly productive .265/.338/.528 for the first-place Cardinals. Given Pujols' productivity and the Cardinals' comfortable lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central, Pujols should have ample opportunity to get those final two home runs before the regular season ends on Oct. 5.

” We are driven by our belief that science is the key to solving the biggest challenges of tomorrow’s society. And all by investing in projects like Nanok. » says Sonsoles Llopis Garcia, Solvay’s Head of Philanthropy.
Since April 2022, Jill and Nathan, both Belgians, have been exploring the virgin lands of Greenland. They set themselves the crazy challenge of conducting a triathlon in Greenland that combines polar expeditions, kayaking and climbing over a period of 5 months, in complete autonomy.
With a strong desire to provide basic support for scientific research, the two Belgian friends quickly surrounded themselves with major partners. The Solvay group quickly joined the adventure and wanted to be a huge supporter of the project.
” Nanuk arrived, in fact, through our invitations for projects, and so we learned about Nanuk through this request, this request. And right away, we were totally encouraged to support this project because, in fact, Nanok is the embodiment of what Solvay is for, which is to create connections with people, ideas, and items. So we can accurately reinvent the progress. Sonsoles Llopis Garcia develops.
Why did you participate in the Nanook project?
” Jill and Nathan are clearly very likable. For Solvay, it was clear that we had to take part in this project, which is an extraordinary human challenge and an extraordinary scientific mission. We encourage the development and improvement of scientific knowledge and all that is an investment in extraordinary projects, that go beyond and seek out-of-the-box ideas. So for us, Nanook is a crucial role. We need them, we need these ideas. We need these inspirations and these ambitions. why ? For creativity and inspiration. To reinvent progress. Sonsoles Llopis Garcia explains.
Nanook Mission?
For those who have not yet heard of this atypical project, the Nanok Expedition is a sporting feat achieved in Greenland. An atypical and unique triathlon race that combines straight cross
600 km on sledges along the Arctic Circle
1000 km in sea kayak
1 km of vertical climbing to open the “big wall” route in the adventure area.
Opening of the Great Wall: After 3-4 months of effort, they will continue their campaign by opening a “Big Wall” in the Fjords. farewell head. In fact, this area is dotted with many large walls with a height of 1,000 meters and more, many of which have never been climbed. So they aim to open their own path in “Big Wall” style and end their expedition in height and beauty!
The Nanok Project is supported by Clyde & Bonnie Agency and By photographer Sylvain Krast

There’s no question it’s been a challenging season for Preston’s injury- riddled girls soccer program.
As a result, the Indians have suffered plenty of growing pains through the first four-or-so weeks of the 2022 campaign. Nevertheless, to the delight of head coach Brandon Lyon, his Preston side appeared to turn a corner this week.
Preston lost a 1-0 nailbiter Tuesday at home to 4A Fifth District rival Century and then bounced back with a 5-0 victory over visiting Blackfoot (0-6) two days later. It was the Indians’ first win of the season.
“The girls did a great job of building on Tuesday’s good performance,” PHS head coach Brandon Lyon said. “I really felt like we turned a corner on Tuesday and the girls kept that going against Blackfoot. We’ve finally found some consistency and are figuring out our roles. Big next two weeks with six games that we need to continue to build on and improve.”
Isabel Gonzales recorded a brace for Preston, which also got goals from Shayla Willard, Brytlee Harris and Ella Jeppsen. Four of those five goals were assisted as Sam Palmer led the way with two. Brinley Alder and Alexis Johnson were also credited with assists.
Ella Marlow went the distance in goal for the Indians (1-8), who earned their first shutout of the season.
“She’s been great all year,” Lyon said of his sophomore goalkeeper. “It’s our backline that we’ve been trying to figure out. Four brand new girls there now — three have never played defense before. But I think we’ve got it figured out.”
Likewise, the Preston boys were edged by Century by 1-0 scoreline earlier this week on the road. The Indians (3-6-1) were able to somewhat bounce back Friday by drawing with 5A program Rigby at home, 1-1. Rigby (4-4-2) defeated Preston, 3-1, earlier this month.
Parker Cromwell buried a penalty kick in the second half for Preston. Rigby’s goal was also netted after halftime.
“We outplayed them, spent a lot of time in the attack,” PHS head coach Kira Matthews said. “We need to get our shots dialed in and really be able to stay focused. We just make the wrong mistake at the wrong time too often to let teams score on us.”
USU VOLLEYBALL
Utah State was swept on the road by perennial NCAA Tournament qualifier Utah, 25-20, 25-10, 25-18. The Utes (7-4) racked up 20 more kills than the Aggies (47-27) and finished with a solid .309 hitting percentage to the Aggies’ .063.
Kennedi Boyd fared well offensively for the Aggies (7-3) and she led the way with 10 kills and attacked at an impressive .529 clip. Boyd also contributed with a pair of blocks.
Shelby Capllonch paced USU with 10 digs, immediately followed by teammate Jordi Holdaway with nine.
Lauren Jardine matched her career high with 14 kills for a well-balanced Utah attack, which got nine kills and nine digs from Abby Karich, eight kills from Ashley West and 35 assists, seven digs and four blocks from Viktoria Wahlgren.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (WEHT) – Paving operations were started by a contractor on Friday in Spottsville. The asphalt resurfacing will be 5.31 miles long and will begin at KY 811 and extend east to the Henderson/Daviess County line (MP 25.111).
Officials say drivers should anticipate flaggers and reduced speeds in the area. The work is expected to take 2-3 weeks though inclement weather could delay the project.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet asks drivers to be aware of the work zone and utilize safe driving habits. They also say drivers can expect delays.

NEW YORK, Sept 17 — The UN General Assembly is back in person after the pandemic disruption but in a world as full of crises as ever, with the war in Ukraine set to pit the West against Russia.
Some 150 world leaders will descend on New York for a week of diplomacy, with all required to come in person to speak save one — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, granted an exception as he leads the fight against Russian invaders.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, speaking ahead of the summit that formally begins Tuesday, said that the world’s divisions “are the widest they have been since at least the Cold War.”
“Our world is blighted by war, battered by climate chaos, scarred by hate and shamed by poverty, hunger and inequality,” Guterres said.
“As fractures deepen and trust evaporates, we need to come together around solutions.”
For the two previous years, the annual meeting that jams traffic through Midtown Manhattan had been a more subdued affair with leaders allowed to send in videos.
The General Assembly voted Friday to let Zelensky speak by video. Seven nations voted against including Russia, saying that the right should be extended to all leaders, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping, not planning to travel to New York.
Several US adversaries are expected, however, including Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, defying loud protests from their opponents in the United States.
Richard Gowan, who follows the United Nations for the International Crisis Group, said that Zelensky’s speech will “get 1,000 times more attention than most in-person speeches by other leaders.”
“But Zelensky has to be careful. A lot of non-Western politicians are resentful of the West’s focus on Ukraine and worry that the war is distracting international attention from issues like the global food crisis,” he said.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, acknowledged the concerns, saying that despite discussions on Ukraine, “it will not be the only thing that we’re dealing with.”
“We cannot ignore the rest of the world and what is happening in the rest of the world, the impact of climate change, the impact of the pandemic, conflicts elsewhere in the world,” she said.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday will co-chair a summit on food security with the African Union, European Union and Spain as high global prices — worsened by the invasion of major grain producer Ukraine — bring new hunger around the world.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said that he will seek “dialogue with our partners from the South to avoid planting this idea that it’s the West against the rest.”
Push on climate
Despite the shift toward normalcy, the schedule of the General Assembly was scrambled by the death of Queen Elizabeth II. US President Joe Biden, who traditionally would have been one of the first speakers Tuesday and who would have led the food summit, will instead speak Wednesday.
And with Covid concerns lingering, the United Nations is still limiting the size of delegations and requiring the wearing of masks in the towering headquarters on the East River.
Prime Minister Liz Truss, who took office two days before the death of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, will fly after the funeral to the United Nations on her first foreign trip since taking office.
The UN summit will also mark a fresh occasion to build momentum on global action on climate change, amid mounting signs that the planet is descending into dangerous levels of warming.
“We have run out of time to waste,” said Ambassador Walton Webson of Antigua and Barbuda, heading the Alliance of Small Island States.
“Our islands are being hit with more severe and more frequent climate impacts and recovery comes at the cost of our development,” he said.
Guterres said he will use the week to speak frankly with leaders amid guarded hopes for further progress on climate during the next climate summit, COP27, in Egypt in November. — AFP

DENVER (AP)John Stearns, a four-time time All-Star catcher with the New York Mets, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.
Stearns, who played football and baseball at the University of Colorado, died Thursday night in Denver, according to the Mets.
He passed away less than three weeks after attending an Old Timers’ Day at Citi Field in New York that coincided with the Mets’ 60th anniversary. He was noticeably thin in his Mets jersey on Aug. 27 and waved to the crowd when he was introduced on the field.
”No one played the game with more spirit or determination than John Stearns,” Mets President Sandy Alderson said Friday in a statement. ”He literally willed himself to attend Old Timers’ Day last month so he could visit friends and old teammates. Despite his illness, he even managed to step into the batting cage to take a few swings. His nickname, `Bad Dude’ couldn’t have been more appropriate.”
Stearns was a complete catcher. He could hit, run and throw out baserunners, nailing almost 38% of those who attempted to steal.
Stearns was a late draft pick as a defensive back by the NFL’s Buffalo Bills in 1973. The Philadelphia Phillies took him second overall that same year and he opted to play baseball.
With Bob Boone behind the plate for the Phillies, Stearns never really had a chance to play in Philadelphia after struggling early with his hitting. After appearing in one game for the Phillies in 1974, he was traded to the Mets as part of the multiplayer deal that sent relief pitcher Tug McGraw to Philadelphia.
Stearns played with the Mets from 1975-84 in a tenure that included frequent battles with injuries. He was named an All-Star in 1977, `79, ’80 and 82. He had a career batting average of .260 in 810 games with 152 doubles, 10 triples and 46 home runs. He also stole 91 bases, including a team-high 25 in 1978.
A former safety and punter in college, Stearns was solid and feisty. Pirates star Dave Parker sustained a broken collarbone in one collision with Stearns in 1978 and future Mets star catcher Gary Carter got into a fight with him after another collision at home in ’79.
One other incident Mets fans will remember is Stearns tackling one of two fans who ran on the field in 1980 and eluded authorities a little too long for his liking.
After retiring as a player, he served in a number of baseball jobs as a scout with Milwaukee, a bullpen coach for the Yankees, a minor league manager for Toronto and as a scout and coach for the Orioles.
He returned to the Mets as a coach in 2000 for two years under Bobby Valentine and later as a scout and minor league coach.
Stearns became an entertaining figure for a national audience when cameras and microphones memorably caught him shouting in the dugout, ”The monster is out of the cage! The monster is out of the cage!” as Hall of Fame slugger Mike Piazza began breaking out of a hitting slump during the 2000 postseason.
”John was such a key part of our staff,” Valentine said. ”He had a unique way of lighting a fire under the guys. Every time we spoke by phone, he kept telling me he was going to beat this thing. That was John Stearns to a tee.”
Stearns is survived by his son, Justin, brothers, Richard and William and his sister, Carla.

The Bay Rivers District football title will again run through Lafayette. Winners of that crown every season save one since 2011, the Rams moved into the district driver’s seat with a 35-21 win over York on Friday at Bailey Field.
The Rams (2-1, 2-0) and Falcons (2-1, 1-1) shared the district title a year ago with Warhill, which figures to be the only other district team capable of mounting a serious challenge. The only time Lafayette hasn’t at least shared the district title in the past 11 seasons is because it lost to York 28-21 in 2019 at Bailey.
“This is one of the more-hyped games because they broke our streak a few years back,” senior running back Demarcus Lawrence said of the Rams’ 60 consecutive district wins. “To come back and get a win at the place where we lost the streak at feels great.”
Lawrence and backfield mate Jaylen Pretlow were more than up to the hype. Lawrence ran for 150 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, while Pretlow ran for 100 yards and a touchdown on six carries and added another 75 yards and a score on four receptions.
The inside-outside duo of Lawrence and Pretlow got the Rams on the board first to cap a 79-yard drive. Pretlow had the big gainer with 40 yards on a sweep, while power back Lawrence handled the other four carries for 39 yards. His 10-yard run up the middle gave the Rams a 7-0 lead with 7 minutes, 52 seconds left in the first half.
“We’ve been emphasizing ground-and-pound and toting the ball heavy,” Lawrence said. “I’m a big, powerful back and I’m ready when Coach (Andy Linn) needs me.”
Breaking News
York tied the game at 7 with 1:04 remaining in the half on Zacchaeus Maxfield’s 6-yard touchdown run. Nate Wagner’s 29-yard pass to Brian Burks and a 15-yard penalty on the Rams set up that score.
But following the ensuing kickoff, Pretlow changed the momentum with three receptions from quarterback Hayden Oleksy for 68 yards. The final one, a leaping grab at the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard TD on a lob with 5 seconds left, gave the Rams a 14-7 halftime lead.
“It was about to be the end of the half and Coach said we needed plays,” Pretlow said. “When we give it to (Lawrence), he makes plays and when we get it to me, I make plays.”
The Rams went mostly to Lawrence on their 10-play drive to start the second half, but Pretlow finished it with a 3-yard TD run to make it 21-7. Moments later, James Spencer made it 28-7 by returning an interception of a Wagner pass 15 yards for a touchdown.
That was the decisive sequence, although the Falcons fought on and scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.
“They made more plays than we did tonight,” York coach Doug Pereira said. “We made some, but we didn’t take advantage of an opportunity near the goal line in the first half.”

Has the ute become too posh? The big debate dividing Australia as the tradie’s workhorse is gentrified and takes over suburbia
- Reddit post claims popularity of utes and SUVs has become 'cringe' in cities
- The poster said drivers making expensive upgrades are too image conscious
- Eight of the 10 most popular cars sold in Australia in 2022 were utes or SUVS
A fierce debate has erupted over the popularity of utes and SUVs after a brutal sledge that the once-humble tradie vehicle has become a 'status symbol for toxic normies'.
On reddit, a user's post titled 'The 4WD/ute trend is cringe', targeting 'pimped-up utes' quickly went viral, with most people agreeing the trend has gone too far.
'The 4wd/ute trend that has crept up in the past 4 years or so is so bloody cringe,' the aggrieved person wrote.
A fierce debate has erupted over the popularity of utes and SUVs after a brutal sledge that the once-humble tradie vehicle has become a 'status symbol for toxic normies'
While the reddit post said tradies and campers owning utes and SUVs was understandable, many others drive hotted-up versions for no reason other than being image conscious
The post drew over 900 responses with most people agreeing, but saying the trend goes back 30 years.
The poster claimed many people are driving utes and SUVs with expensive add-ons they don't need because they 'lack identity' and are so image-focused.
'There's nothing wrong with owning a 4WD if you're a tradesperson, a camping guru ... But it's when we have like normies from the suburbs owning brand new 100k ford raptors, with upgrades... they cost so much to maintain.
'What are you trying to achieve?'
The five most popular vehicles sold in Australia are all utes or SUVs, according to figures released by Canstar in July.
In order they were: Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai Tucson.
Utes and SUVs also account for eight of the top 10 most popular cars sold in Australia (Pictured an Isuzu D-Max)
After purchase, many buyers intending to use their vehicles off-road upgrade using custom auto body manufacturers (Pictured, a Mitsubishi Triton)
Utes and SUVs also account for eight of the top 10 most popular cars sold in Australia.
After purchase, many buyers intending to use their vehicles off-road upgrade using custom auto body manufacturers.
The services do everything from fit custom rims and fat tyres to upgrading shock absorbers and suspension systems.
The Toyota Hi-lux was the most popular new car in Australia in July 2022
A debate on reddit questioned why so many people who are not tradies drive utes and 4WDs in Australia's cities
'My favourite is seeing them cruise around with their MaxTrax bolted on, so they can access them any time they get bogged on the way to the school drop-off,' one commenter responded.
MaxTrax is a vehicle recovery and extraction device drivers can use to free their vehicle if they become bogged in mud or stuck in sand.
On the Australia subreddit, the user who started the thread claimed the hotted-up SUVs and utes were a status symbol for 'image conscious' people.
'It seems the 4WD has evolved into a certain status symbol (particularly for toxic normies) so much that now it seems the whole population is competing against each other, where the fattest, loudest, 4WD, makes the driver the most alpha,' they said.
'There could be a complete baboon behind the wheel but people still think he's hot cuz he owns a 'Seventy nine series'.
A 79 series is a type of Toyota Landcruiser.
Several commenters in the thread believed the trend really began with the popularity of Range Rovers in the early 1990s.
'I first heard it being used to refer to a Range Rover Vogue in 1992.'
One said it wasn't just a bloke thing either.
'The 4WD was part of the 90s suburban soccer mum image.
'The term 'Toorak Tractor' to refer to a 4WD that never leaves the city has been with us for at least 20 years,' another said.
'I think the new part is the importing of American trucks rather than the Australian style of ute,' one person said.
Many people took it as a chance to talk proudly about their own SUVs.
'I own a 2002 Hilux that i have for the last 18years and go camping and fishing often and just look at some of those rangers like its a competition on how much crap you can bolt onto a car.'

BALLSTON SPA, NY (NEWS10) — We head to Class A where Columbia hit the road to take on Ballston Spa.
The Blue Devils defense had its hands full tonight with the Scotties offense led by Nico Savini who got things rolling early in the first quarter. Savini broke off a long run to set up Ballston Spa at the Blue Devils 10 yard line. From there Troy Gottman took the hand off and raced for the pylon to put Ballston up 6-0.
Columbia’s special teams unit made a play on the Scotties next possession forcing a safety to get them on the board, 6-2. They would find the end zone later, but Ballston Spa poured it on and won the game 34-14.
The Scotties will face Albany at home next week and Columbia will hit the road to face Amsterdam.

Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10
For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody.
insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.
Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since.
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport.
Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit.
The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.

RACINE — A Racine man accused of hacking another man’s Turo account to rent a car also allegedly sped away from police and had marijuana and fentanyl on his person; Turo is a cellphone application that allows car owners to rent out their own vehicle.
Marketas D. Ellis, 23, of the 500 block of Mulberry Lane, was charged with three felony counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, felony counts of attempting to flee or elude an officer, possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics and six misdemeanor counts of bail jumping.
According to a criminal complaint:
At 9:32 p.m. on Monday, officers conducted a traffic stop on a Jaguar for unsafe lane deviation.
An officers made contact with the driver and passenger of the vehicle. The driver said the Jaguar was a rental vehicle through an application called Turo. While speaking to the man, the officer noticed the odor of marijuana. He asked the driver to turn off the vehicle, but he instead accelerated away at a high rate of speed. It blew through multiple stop signs and put the passenger as well as pedestrians in danger.

The registered owner of the Jaguar spoke with an officer and said he rented the car out through Turo to someone identified as “Francisco Cristerna.” He rented it out to the man on Monday and then was contacted by him again on Tuesday to switch the Jaguar out for a Maserati. He met with him in Milwaukee and provided him with the Maserati. The officer was able to get a driver’s license photograph of the man and realized he was not the one driving the Jaguar.
The officer then contacted a representative from Turo who said the account for “Francisco Cristerna” had been hacked and he was not involved in the incident. Turo’s fraud department located the name of Ellis attached to the phone number that was provided by the individual who hacked into his account. The officer then looked at a Kenosha jail booking photograph of Ellis and was able to confirm he was the driver of the Jaguar.
At 3:55 p.m. on Tuesday, officers were sent to the 500 block of Mulberry Lane and noticed Ellis exit a residence. They placed him under arrest and searched the Maserati being driven by him. Inside was a baggie with 2.7 grams of a substance that tested positive for marijuana and fentanyl in the center console.
Ellis was given a $10,000 cash bond in Racine County Circuit Court on Thursday. A preliminary hearing is on Sept. 22 at the Racine County Law Enforcement Center, online court records show.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Declares Scantily-Clad Women on Social Media ‘The Existential Threat to America’
Newsmax host Greg Kelly claimed attractive people who post videos of themselves on social media to garner large followings collectively pose “the existential threat” to the United States.
After bemoaning the porous state of the southern border with Mexico, Kelly said on Friday night that American culture currently poses a bigger problem.
“We’re gonna have the physical integrity of this country back,” he told viewers. “It’s bad right now, I know. But there’s something worse – far worse going on right now. It’s the rotting of America from within. And I’m sorry, the Kardashians, they are so responsible for so much of it.”
He added, “They don’t have much talent. What do they have? Cameras? And a big rear end I guess, and the taking of the pictures and posting them.”
The host aired a video from a TikTok account called @jelinuh, which has seven million followers. It shows a scantily-clad woman dancing in a way that didn’t impress Kelly.
“I don’t know that much about dancing, but I know that this is pretty mediocre dancing,” he said. “This is not good.”
He went on to claim young people aren’t learning any real-world skills.
“They’re just walking around young, with a phone, and you too can be a model,” he stated.
As he spoke, a full-screen video of Instagram model Alison Bowles played.
“I actually think this poses a graver risk to America than the illegal wave,” Kelly went on. “I wanna fix that. Don’t get me wrong. But this? This is the existential threat to America. She’s beautiful! But flaunting it. It’s not just her, but everybody else.”
He then quoted Founding Father Samuel Adams because why not: “When people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own weight without the aid of foreign invaders.”
Kelly concluded by saying President Joe Biden isn’t prepared to act to stop undocumented immigrants from coming across the border.
As he spoke, a split-screen of b-roll footage of migrants and @jelinuh dancing aired.

The Blackhawks’ season nearly became a nightmare before it officially began.
Blackhawks top prospect Lukas Reichel gave the organization a scare Friday when he awkwardly fell against the end boards, was slow to get up and departed for the dressing room during the second period against the Minnesota Wild in a rookie showcase at Fifth Third Arena. Reichel sat out the final 16:39 of the second period while being evaluated.
The Blackhawks hockey operations staff collectively exhaled between periods when Reichel was cleared to play and returned for the third period. This season might be destined to be rough for the Blackhawks, but it would have been much rougher if they lost time in Reichel’s development.
Here's where Lukas Reichel (27) went down along the boards pic.twitter.com/RcXw62hLzb
— Scott Powers (@ByScottPowers) September 17, 2022
Here are five thoughts from the Blackhawks’ 5-2 loss to the Wild in the first of a two-game series in the rookie showcase:
1. Reichel’s return was encouraging news for the Blackhawks, but they weren’t as lucky with Colton Dach, another of their top forward prospects. Dach left Friday’s game after the first period and did not return.
Rockford IceHogs coach Anders Sorensen, who is coaching the Blackhawks rookie team, said Dach was being evaluated and he would have more information Saturday.
Dach has already signed an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks, but he is expected to return to the WHL this season.
Before his injury, Dach was showing his offensive ability while playing on a line with Reichel and Gavin Hayes. Dach scored 23 seconds into the game from a shot off the rush.

— Scott Powers (@ByScottPowers) September 17, 2022
2. Reichel missed the bulk of the second period, but he was the Blackhawks’ best player on the ice. He created offensive zone entry after zone entry. He was dangerous off the rush. He won faceoffs.
Sorensen described his game as “good.”
“Good off the rush, looks a little bit stronger in the corners, like he can handle himself,” Sorensen said. “Obviously, when he got knocked down, maybe not. But I thought he was pretty good.”
Reichel and the Blackhawks will be looking for more from him Sunday in the second game. These games might not make or break his chances of breaking camp with the NHL team, but a lot of eyes are certainly on him at all times.
On the next play, Reichel stole the puck and set up Hayes for a quality look:
On the next highlight, he showed off his speed up the middle and set up a teammate for a great look:
3. The Blackhawks were impressive in the first period. They played fast. They were aggressive on the forecheck. They were rolling their lines. They were limiting the Wild’s chances in the offensive zone. They went up 2-0 with goals by Dach and Cole Guttman.
Early in the second period, that all changed when Dach and Reichel went out, and the Blackhawks never recovered. The Wild scored five unanswered goals.
“I thought we played the best first period we could have,” said Blackhawks center prospect Paul Ludwinski, a 2022 second-round pick. “We were all over them. Every line was buzzing. We were playing in their zone. Their D couldn’t handle us. And then, we just had injury problems. It slowed the pace down a lot because we rotated three centermen. Playing the game like that, three centermen, hurts you. Pace slowed down, and there’s where they got us because they were fresh.”
4. Ludwinski’s line especially brought that pace. He and linemate Samuel Savoie, a 2022 third-round pick, seemed to be everywhere, disrupting plays throughout the game.
There was a shift in the first period when the line, which included Michal Teply, had the puck in the Wild’s zone for nearly a minute. The moment the line lost the puck, Ludwinski and Savoie won it right back.
“It’s a short time to build chemistry, but we just felt fresh out there,” Ludwinski said. “Me and Savy were all over them, and then Teps, he’s a big body there and helped out so much, just having that older guy on your line that you can rely on. We just kind of clicked. We kind of fed the fire into the team. Shift after shift, we did that in the first, and everyone was just rolling.”
Savoie’s speed stands out, but he’s living up to his reputation as an agitator, too. He found ways to hit the Wild during play and after the whistle. He’ll undoubtedly be compared to Andrew Shaw, which Sorensen did Friday, throughout the coming years.
Evan Barratt did his share of agitating Friday, too.
5. Quick notes:
• Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski, the seventh pick in the 2022 draft, played on the top pairing alongside Alex Vlasic. Korchinski nearly scored in the first period, but his shot hit the post. He created several chances with his skating and puckhandling in the offensive zone. We’ll dive deeper into his game next week.
• Guttman was another player who stood out Friday. He had numerous scoring chances. Shortly before his goal, which was set up by Josiah Slavin, he stole a puck and was denied on a breakaway.

• Blackhawks goalie prospect Jaxson Stauber played the whole game. He stopped 29 of 34 shots. Two of the goals were scored on the power play, and another came on a two-on-one rush.
• Isaak Phillips and Jakub Galvas were healthy scratches. The Blackhawks already know what they have in both players, so they kept them out.

Utah Utes remain at No. 2 in FanNation Pac-12 Power Rankings
Heading into week three, Utah remains at No. 2 in the latest FanNation Pac-12 Power Rankings.
1. USC 2-0 (5) . . . 82 votes
2. Utah 1-1 (1) . . . 74
3. Oregon State . . . 62
4. UCLA 2-0 . . . 61
5. Washington State 2-0 (1) . . . 58
6. Washington 2-0 . . . 52
7. Oregon 1-1 . . . 51
8. Stanford 1-1 . . . 28
9. Cal 2-0 . . . 27
10. Arizona 1-1 . . . 23
11. Arizona State 1-1 . . . 21
12. Colorado 0-2 . . . 7
JAKE CURTIS, CAL SPORTS REPORT
1. Washington State, 2. USC. 3. Oregon State, 4. UCLA, 5. Washington, 6. Utah, 7. Oregon, 8. Cal, 9, Arizona, 10. Stanford. 11. Arizona State. 12. Colorado
Comment: If you look at results and not preseason expectations, which team has had the best results? WSU beat a ranked team (Wisconsin) on the road. No other Pac-12 team has done that. The only certainty in these rankings is that Colorado is last.
MAX TORRES, DUCKS DIGEST
1. USC; 2. Utah; 3. Washington State; 4. Oregon State; 5. UCLA; 6. Oregon; 7. Washington; 8. Stanford; 9. Arizona State; 10. Arizona; 11. Cal; 12. Colorado
Comment: Oregon bounced back in a big way and looked even better than I anticipated against Eastern Washington. That being said, hanging 70 on an FCS school isn't anything to write home about and their Pac-12 trajectory will become much clearer when they face No. 12 BYU this week in a much more difficult and physical game. Their conference opener against Washington State looks all the more intriguing after the Cougs upset Wisconsin on the road.
KEVIN BORBA, ALL CARDINAL
1. USC; 2. Utah; 3. UCLA; 4. Oregon State; 5. Oregon; 6. Washington; 7. Washington State; 8. Arizona; 9. Stanford; 10. Cal; 11. Arizona State; 12. Colorado
Comment: Not a lot of movement this time around, but USC did seem to solidify itself as the best team in the conference right now. Stanford, on the other hand, has a very early bye week in which it will look to get some key people healthy, and prepare for Washington next week.
SAM CONNON, ALL BRUINS
1. USC; 2. Utah; 3. UCLA; 4. Washington; 5. Oregon; 6. Oregon State; 7. Washington State; 8. Cal; 9. Arizona State; 10. Arizona; 11. Stanford; 12. Colorado
Comment: Outside of the Trojans, the rest of the supposed top-tier teams in the conference played and defeated a bunch of cupcakes last weekend. That gave Oregon State, Washington State and Cal a chance to assert themselves as teams to take seriously, and they each did just that. Wins over Wisconsin, Fresno State and UNLV show how the Pac-12 has improved from last year – even if they were offset slightly by Arizona and Arizona State's losses to Mississippi State and Oklahoma State – and the middle of the pack could prove to be more disruptive than initially thought.
WYATT ALLSUP, ALL TROJANS
1. USC; 2. Utah; 3. Oregon State; 4. Oregon; 5. Washington State; 6. UCLA; 7. Stanford; 8. Washington; 9. Arizona; 10. Arizona State; 11. Cal; Colorado.
Comment: Utah bounced back nicely with a strong win against a weaker opponent. Stanford gave USC a decent fight in the second half, but USC is still the team to beat in this conference. Oregon State is starting to put it together; don’t be surprised if they find themselves in the AP Top 25 soon.
COLE BAGLEY, ALL UTES
1. Utah; 2. USC; 3. UCLA; 4. Washington; 5. Oregon State; 6. Oregon; 7. Washington State; 8. Cal; 9. Stanford; 10. Arizona State; 11. Arizona; 12. Colorado
Comment: Not much changed from the previous week. USC has firepower, but the defense is unproven. Washington still may be a dark horse and Oregon somewhat bounced back. More conference matchups will tell us what we really need to know.
DAN RALEY, INSIDE THE HUSKIES
1. USC; 2. Utah 1-1; 3. Washington State 2-0; 4. Oregon State 2-0; 5. Washington 2-0; 6. UCLA 2-0; 7. Oregon 1-1; 8. Cal 2-0; 9. Stanford 1-1; 10. Arizona State 1-1; 11. Arizona 1-1; 12. Colorado 0-2.
Comment: We've come to a Kalen DeBoer crossroads with the Huskies hosting Michigan State and tasked with showing whether or not they can score at will against a Big Ten team. Or beat one by a field goal, such as WSU did. Considering the Big Ten's pilfering of USC and UCLA, these are statement games now.
